After leaving Suzuki Davide Brivio went on an adventure on the Formula 1, being part of Alpine as Director of Racing Expansion Projects, and now, after three years, is back on MotoGP with Trackhouse Racing, precisely, a team with experience in the four wheel championships. Brivio looked at some difference between the categories, saying that ‘in Formula 1 companies race, in MotoGP teams race’.
The Team Principal of the american team, Aprilia’s satellite, spoke to MotoSprint about his spell away of the MotoGP, assuring that he is still «in love» with the sport: ‘Certainly. A lot, otherwise I would stay at home. In my career, I have taken many planes, I will gladly do it again. The passion for my work is intact, indeed, I would define it as further grown and consolidated. If that wasn’t the case, I’d probably do something else’.
He then came to make a curious comparison in how the racing is, when it comes to brands from each category, from F1 to MotoGP: ‘In Formula 1 companies race, in MotoGP teams race. The four-wheelers enjoy enormous economic and human resources because, logically, the car is larger than a two-wheeler. Many people work on the single-seater, and almost every piece is produced in-house, apart from tyres, brakes and little else. Between power units in hybrid configuration and aerodynamic sections, we never stop intervening’.
Also in F1 there a big big investment, from many sides: ‘The game requires large resources, a large number of engineers, separate but connected departments between them. If we quantify the differences, they are large’.
