For this second MotoGP meeting in Misano, the bigwigs of Liberty Media came discreetly to take a tour of the place. This gave them the opportunity to discover a world very different from their very polite and square Formula 1. To convince them of this state of affairs, the Grand Prix of Emilia Romagna had pulled out all the stops with an overtaking in the last lap in contact and controversy, a middle finger on the finish line and an English lesson with crude words in a press conference. In short, everything that Liberty Media has banned from the premier category of motorsport...

To understand the depth and the size of the gulf that currently separates F1 and the MotoGP, it must be remembered that, at the same time as this Misano 2 high-flying, a Singapore Grand Prix took place where Max Verstappen The multiple World Champion had just been sentenced to two days of community service for having debated the inappropriate use, but in the heat of the moment, on the radio, at the wheel of his racing car, of the dirty word "F...".

Will MotoGP riders have to get used to community service and Liberty Media educators?

The same one heard later in the "cool-room" of Misano 2 in the conversation between Martin et bastianini and who will then be mocked among the same bastianini and Marc Marquez giving him an English lesson... Not to mention the cavalier overtaking, the kind of maneuver that is no longer possible in F1 these days without being certain of getting your ticket to the scaffold.

In short, Liberty Medium has discovered a politically incorrect paddock. The question now is whether the Americans will bring him into line and march in step or whether they will put up with him. We have an idea of ​​the answer. What about you?
