MotoGP insists feeder classes won’t become like F1’s under Liberty ownership
Earlier this week, Liberty Media, the owner of Formula 1, announced the acquisition of majority ownership of Dorna Sports and MotoGP in a €4.2 billion deal. The news of this takeover has sparked speculation about the future direction of MotoGP and its potential alignment with Formula 1. One key difference between the two series is their feeder classes: while Moto2 and Moto3 are world championships that complement MotoGP events, Formula 2 and Formula 3 have separate schedules and paddocks from F1. Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta confirmed that Moto2 and Moto3 will continue to be integral parts of MotoGP weekends, with no plans to separate them like F2 and F3. Liberty Media has assured that there will be no immediate changes to the sporting aspects of MotoGP post-acquisition, and the FIM has publicly supported this new development.
