MotoGP riders Jack Miller and Toprak Razgatlioglu visited Alpine F1's Enstone factory ahead of the Silverstone GP weekend, touring the performance center, mission control room, and Flavio Briatore's office, and taking a spin on a Yamaha R9 show bike. Briatore said F1 and MotoGP "share a lot in common and now sit under the same owner, Liberty Media," calling the visit a bridge between the two disciplines.

Been trackside long enough to know this kind of cross-discipline visit is more than just a break for the riders. Getting a feel for the sheer scale of a development operation you'd never see from inside a MotoGP pit box matters. Briatore flatly saying they now sit under the same owner is a genuinely interesting line too.

Wish other teams would do crossover events like this too.

What kind of bike is the Yamaha R9 they rode?

Sounds like it's a show-bike spec, probably different from the production model.

Under Liberty Media, ties between the two series will likely deepen.

A crossover like this would've been unthinkable years ago.

Touring the F1 mission control room sounds incredible.
