Liberty Media recently announced the acquisition of MotoGP, adding it to its portfolio that also includes Formula 1.
Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei emphasized that MotoGP will not undergo the same level of core changes as Formula 1 has in recent years. F1’s owners have agreed to acquire MotoGP in a $4 billion deal, seven years after obtaining commercial rights for F1. Under Liberty Media’s ownership, F1 has introduced sprint race weekends and focused more on the American market. Maffei stated that MotoGP’s future will not necessarily mirror F1’s path and highlighted the series’ advancements. While MotoGP has already adopted some changes seen in F1, Maffei believes there is room for further enhancements without a complete overhaul. He expressed confidence in continuing to improve MotoGP collaboratively, offering similar potential for growth as seen in F1.
