Guenther Steiner made his first public appearance on Saturday as Tech3’s new owner
Tech3 MotoGP team owner Guenther Steiner appeared at the official season launch in Malaysia, feeling like a rookie in his new role.
He led a consortium in purchasing the Tech3 team from Herve Poncharal for €20 million last summer.
The takeover, completed last week, brought new investors like Alpine F1 driver Pierre Gasly into the mix.
This move showcased Liberty Media’s push to attract outside investment to MotoGP.
Steiner officially took over as CEO of Tech3 this year and appeared at the MotoGP season launch in Kuala Lumpur.
Despite ownership changes, the team’s racing side remains stable.
The Tech3 team maintains Enea Bastianini and Maverick Vinales in its line-up and continues with factory KTM machinery.
