P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The 2025 German Grand Prix will be the first under Liberty’s official ownership of MotoGP, after its 86% acquisition was finalised on 3 July. And with Marc Marquez expected to dominate a round already being written off by some, Liberty has an opportunity to seize the moment…
Liberty Media, as the new owners, have not chosen an event for Marc Marquez that would likely result in anything other than his total domination at the German Grand Prix.
Marquez comes to the race with a 68-point lead in the championship standings after consecutive wins in the Netherlands, increasing his advantage over his nearest rival, Alex Marquez.
History suggests that Marquez is likely to continue his winning streak at the Sachsenring, where he has triumphed in every race from 2013 to 2021, except in 2023 when his Honda era began to unravel.
Despite the lack of competition, Marquez has faced challenges at the German Grand Prix – including crashes and injuries – but his familiarity with the track and his Ducati bike bode well for another victory.
The potential predictability of Marquez’s success has led many fans and media on social media to label this weekend’s race as unexciting, echoing concerns about Liberty Media’s ability to handle uneventful races, much like they did when they acquired Formula 1 in 2017, amid ongoing dominance by Mercedes and Hamilton.
However, as seen in previous races this season, surprises can still happen in MotoGP, keeping the championship unpredictable and offering Liberty Media an opportunity to showcase their expertise in engaging the audience despite potential one-sided races.
