168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton says it would be “epic” if F1 and MotoGP races could be held on the s♑ame weekend following Liberty Media’s takeover.

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

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

The deal has🍷 led to suggওestions that F1 and MotoGP could 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 confi🐲rmed he and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali are “studying the possibili🔜ty”.

Seven-time F1 world champion Hamilton, who is a MotoGP fan, admitted t🍨he prospect of the two series coming together is somet🦹hing that excites him.

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

“I think Liberty has done an amazing job wit🎃h Formula 1, obviously the value of the thing [rising 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 c꧋an have them on the same weekend.”

Monster Energy famously organised a ride swap between Hamilton and legendary MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi at Valencia following the conclusion of the 20🌃19 MotoGP and F1 seasons.

Hamilton joked that he could 🐈race in both series on the same weekend, b🦹efore admitting it would be “impossible”.

“Maybe I could do a race in MotoGP an🅘d 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 suffe💧red his worst-ever start to an F1 season.

The Mercedes driver has𓂃 finished no higher than seventh so far this season and ha♌s scored just 10 points across the opening four races.
