Formula 1 has always been considered the queen of categories in the world of motor sports. But for several seasons, this supremacy has been seriously contested by a MotoGP which has made its revolution under the leadership of its promoter Dorna. To the point that there is less and less doubt about the fact that it is now the motorcycle Grands Prix which should be taken as an example. And even Formula 1, now defunct, recognizes it…
A feeling that MotoGP players exacerbate, not without reason. And sometimes in a way that is as frank as it is brutal. Take for example this assessment made by Stefan pierer, who is none other than the boss of KTM... " Motorcycle races are real races, in which the driver influences 60 or 70% of the result. It's obvious. In Formula 1, currently, you could put a doll in the car ».
He insists : " in F1, cars can be controlled virtually from the pit, and nothing is more autonomous. This championship is going in the wrong direction ". But there is even worse… “ for me, the worst are the electric car races that take place in cities, it's a perversion. There are no spectators, you don't hear anything and you have to change cars mid-race ».
An interesting reflection at a time when Grands Prix with electric motorcycles are being organized for 2019. But Stefan Pierer ends on solomoto : " The MotoGP World Championship has become extremely demanding. It’s amazing the level of technology we have now. We are talking about engines reaching 17 and 500 rpm. It's F18 technology, the one before the restrictions ».
