Davide Brivio, Team Principal of Trackhouse Racing, has shared perspectives on the evolution and technical nature of MotoGP in comparison to Formula 1.

Brivio first advocated for the expansion of the MotoGP calendar to include more urban street circuits, similar to the models used by Formula 1 and Formula E. He argued that city-based venues would increase accessibility and fan engagement, though he acknowledged that such tracks require rigorous safety standards.

Subsequently, Brivio highlighted the fundamental differences in autonomy between the two disciplines. He noted that while Formula 1 relies on constant communication between the driver and the pit wall, MotoGP riders must largely interpret race conditions and tire wear independently once a race begins. He cautioned that adopting too much of the Formula 1 model could risk losing the unique essence of motorcycle racing, where the rider is the central protagonist.
