Do you agree with Marc Marquez's opinion on MotoGP and F1 sharing a race weekend?

blackbianchi16mo ago

Do any of the tracks on the calendar have enough garage space for 22 teams of bikes, then space for the F1 Teams too? Would one team have to move out to make room for the other team mid-weekend? I think the most we could ever hope for was back to back weekends. F1 the first week, then MotoGP then next week, allowing one team to move making room. Am I right?

MotoGP and F1 could get around any garage space issues at circuits like Silverstone and Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi as they have two pit straights and garage complexes, which could be used to separate the two series. But while MotoGP struggles to draw a big crowd at Silverstone, F1 does not - so that would rule it out.

I'd definitely like to see it. It would expose MotoGP to a more global audience, which is ultimately what Liberty want. The issue is finding a track that can support both category and attract a big enough crowd.

I'm torn on this. It would definitely put more eyes on MotoGP but do they want to accept being a second-class championship? Not sure

It does seem very likely that an F1-MotoGP crossover event will happen one day. But the two series will have to find a track that would allow it without many (if any) circuit alternations, as well as not choosing an event that already generates a big attendance on its own.
