MotoGP is being acquired by Liberty Media, thus having the same owners as Formula 1. However, Dorna Sports does not want to change anything in the way things are done, refusing to be associated with the premier category of motorsport.
Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of the MotoGP promoter, made it clear in an interview with GPOne.com – explaining that Liberty Media will have influence in other areas:
– It was not Formula 1 that bought MotoGP, but Liberty Media: we are two separate companies and will remain so, only under the same roof. All championships are important, and we don’t want to change the way things are done. The change we expect is to tell more about our sport, to have the ability to reach more places and reach more people: Liberty Media is very experienced in this.
The only radical changes that the Spanish anticipate have to do with the regulations for 2027: ‘At the moment, I don’t see any major changes in what we do. Clearly, there will be new technical regulations from 2027 onwards, but otherwise, we are happy with what we have’.
At the moment, it is still not clear what the next rules may include, but it is certain that aerodynamics will be much more limited. In addition, there is talk of a reduction in engine displacement to 850 cubic centimeters, a change that also takes into account safety issues.
