168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton says it would be “epic” if F1 and MotoGP races could be held on the same weekend fღollowing Liberty Media’s takeover🌞.

F1 owner Liberty Media has purchased the motorbike series in a deal valued at♓ £3.6bn that will see the US media conglomerate acquire about 86% of Dorna Sports꧟.

Spanish company Dorna hꦿas owned MotoGP since 1992 but will hand over the reins to Liberty Media, who took control of F1 in 2017.

The deal has led to sugges൩tions that F1 and MotoGP c🐼ould join forces to host both championships on the same weekend, at the same location.

While such a scenario would pose a huge logistical challenge, Dorna chief Carmelo Ezpeleta confirmed he and F1 CEO Stefanꦰo Domenicali are “studying the possibility”.

Seven-time F1 world champion Hamilton, who is a MotoGP fan, admitted𒀰 the prospect of the two series coming together is something that excites him.

“I didn't really think a lot about it, [but] obviously I ꧅read the headlines about it,” Hamilton said at theꦏ Japanese Grand Prix.

“I think Liberty has done an amazing job with Formula 1, obviously the value of the thing [r𓆉ising since 2017]. So, I think they can 🐬do a great job with MotoGP.

“💖It's exciting 🌳because I love MotoGP. It would be epic if we can have them on the same weekend.”

Monster Energy famously organised a ride swap between Hamilton and legendary MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valentino Rossi at Valenc🎀ia following the conclusion of the 2019 MotoGP and F1 seasons.

Hamilton joked that he could race in꧟ both series on the same weekend, before admitting it would be “impossible”.

“Maybe I could do a race in MoꦚtoGP and race a Formula 1 car on the same weekend – that would be really cool,” he added with a smile.

Hamilton, who🔥 is joining Ferrari next year, has suffered his wor💞st-ever start to an F1 season.

The Mercedes driver has finished no hജigher than seventh so far this season and has scored just 10 points across the opening four ෴races.
