Having watched F1's budget cap debate play out for years, this explanation makes sense to me. In social terms, that talk of speeds nearing 400km/h is really a safety story. From where I sit, MotoGP pivoting toward commercial investment sounds like exactly the kind of management call you'd expect under Liberty Media.
