MotoGP’s F1 Moment? What Liberty Media Means for the Future of the Sport

MotoGP’s F1 Moment? What Liberty Media Means for the Future of the Sport

Author: Fox Sports Australia August 7, 2025 Duration: 51:42

Liberty Media changed the face of Formula 1 and now, they’ve set their sights on MotoGP 

In this episode of Pit Talk, we break down the 4.3 billion Euro takeover of Dorna and what it could mean for MotoGP’s future, on and off the track 

Is a Drive to Survive style boom coming? Will MotoGP lean into the glitz and storytelling that transformed F1? And what parts of the sport should never be touched?

Joining Renita Vermeulen is Simon Patterson from The Race, who’s seen it all from inside the MotoGP paddock, plus our very own Matt Clayton, who’s experienced both the before and after of Liberty’s influence in F1 

Whether you're an F1 fan curious about MotoGP, or a long-time two-wheel devotee wondering what's next, this episode is your starting grid for understanding the sport’s bold new era
