Throughout his MotoGP career, Davide Brivio has worked with major factory teams such as Yamaha and Suzuki. However, after his stint in Formula 1 with Alpine, he decided to return this year with the satellite team Trackhouse Racing.
GPOne.com asked the team boss if he had any doubts about accepting the opportunity not being with a factory team. In response, Brivio stated:
– Perhaps the desire to return prevailed, there was an opportunity, and I took it. Trackhouse had an easy task because I have always been fascinated by the world of American sports; I have always followed Supercross and the NBA. Moreover, it is an independent team, but it seems to me to be a good project. I have a direct relationship with Justin [Marks, owner], there is a willingness to try new ideas, and I like this mentality.
And for Brivio, there are no differences between working in a factory team and a satellite team: ‘I am not a technician, and in my role as manager of human, financial, and logistical resources, being in a factory team or a satellite team is exactly the same. I don’t see a big difference between Trackhouse and a factory team […] if you take away the technical aspect. Trying to hire the best people, the riders, improving marketing and communication: the work is always the same’.
