Guenther Steiner on Tech3 MotoGP takeover: ‘Dorna told us to not f**k it up’
Former Haas Formula 1 team boss Guenther Steiner revealed that he was advised by Dorna Sports not to make mistakes, after confirming his Tech3 takeover.
During a press conference at the Catalan Grand Prix, current Tech3 owner Herve Poncharal announced the team’s handover to a consortium led by Steiner in 2026.
The deal, reportedly worth around €20 million, includes the Apex management group and Richard Coleman as team principal.
Discussions about entering MotoGP began in mid-April last year, with a friendly reminder from Dorna Sports about upholding Tech3’s legacy.
Steiner emphasized the importance of maintaining Tech3’s success and expressed gratitude to the Ezpeleta family for their support in the transition.
