MotoGP will be 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 the website 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, just under the same roof. All championships are important and we do not want to change the way things are done. The change we expect is to talk more about our sport, 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 anticipates have to do with the 2027 regulations: ‘At this moment, I do not see any major changes in what we do. Clearly there will be new technical regulations from 2027, but otherwise we are happy with what we have‘.
At this moment, it is still unclear what the upcoming 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.
