Racing bosses confirm that renowned Formula One driver Max Verstappen expresses plans to acquire a MotoGP racing team.
In the world of high-octane motorcycle racing, MotoGP is gearing up for an exciting future. With the motorcycle world championship hoping to experience a financial boom similar to Formula 1 under Liberty Media's takeover, the stage is set for some significant changes.
One of the most anticipated developments is the potential entry of new teams into the MotoGP scene. Günther Steiner, known for his success in Formula 1, has confirmed his entry into MotoGP. However, the twelfth slot in MotoGP may not be opened for another customer team, according to MotoGP promoter Dorna and new owner Liberty Media, who prefer to continue with the existing eleven teams.
Rumours are swirling about the involvement of big names from the Formula 1 world. Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, has expressed his interest in MotoGP in the past. While no specific plans have been announced, it seems the racing legend is keeping a close eye on the developments in the motorcycle racing world.
Max Verstappen, another Formula 1 star, is reportedly considering entering the MotoGP world championship as a team owner. Verstappen, a big racing enthusiast with a passion for various forms of motorsport, including motorcycle racing, is intrigued by the potential growth in MotoGP under Liberty Media's ownership. However, a team purchase is not currently a realistic goal for the young racer, who would require perfect conditions to fall into place.
Verstappen has inquired about the availability of teams for sale, including LCR Honda and Trackhouse Racing. However, both LCR team owner Lucio Cecchinello and Trackhouse owner Justin Marks have no intention of selling their teams. Cecchinello, in particular, is open to potential sponsors and minority shareholders, but not someone who wants to take over the entire team.
Interestingly, KTM considered Hamilton as a potential investor in the past. The value of MotoGP teams has been on the rise, with teams currently estimated to be worth between 25 and 30 million euros. In comparison, Formula 1 teams have increased their market value from 500 to 600 million euros to the billion-dollar range in recent years.
As the MotoGP season heats up, the race for new teams and investors promises to add an extra layer of excitement to the championship. With big names from the Formula 1 world showing interest and Liberty Media's ambitious plans for the future, the motorcycle racing world is poised for a thrilling ride.
