Alpine driver Pierre Gasly recently made history as the first current Formula 1 driver to invest in a MotoGP team by acquiring a stake in the KTM Tech3 team ahead of the upcoming season. The move aligns with Liberty Media’s strategy, which successfully elevated F1 after their purchase in 2017, now aiming to do the same for MotoGP. Gasly joins former Haas F1 Team Principal Guenther Steiner and American investors David Blitzer and Main Street Advisors in this venture. The Frenchman expressed his confidence in the Tech3 brand and his long-term commitment to contribute to the growth of MotoGP. The new MotoGP season is set to kick off on March 1st in Thailand, marking an exciting new chapter in Gasly’s career beyond F1.
