The tetrampion of the world of formula 1, Max Verstappenseems interested in getting one of the shields that currently make up the MotoGP grill. There is talk that the Dutchman could end up being the owner of the Honda CSF or the Trackhouse Aprilia, all covered under the new cup of the World Cup by Liberty Media, the US company that owns 84% of the actions of the sports company.
Max Verstappen and its possibilities with the Red Bull Ktm Factory Racing
Following this news, from some international media they wonder why Verstappen does not focus its efforts on the acquisition of the KTM factory equipment. One of the answers to this issue is simple and clearly that, if the renowned Dutch pilot could opt for this possibility, the team where Pedro Acosta or Enea Bastianini militates would cease to be de facto what we know as a factory team.
However, everyone is known as the strong influence that Max currently exerts within the business framework that represents the wide Red Bull Racing spectrum. A clear example confirmed by this theory was the recent fulminating dismissal of Christian Horner, in order that Verstappen managed to have more iron control over the decisions that are made within the team.
From Ride Apart they point to this regard that it would not be too complicated that Max could “Convince the company’s high controls to take over the team.” All this with the views set in 2027 and the new regulation that will begin to be applied within the MotoGP category.
Now, everyone is known to the financial situation that KTM has passed in recent months and as Bajaj has been his Angel Salvador in this matter. It has even been put between said the continuity of the brand within the structure of the World Cup, something that has not confirmed or denied the Indian business group itself, now the majority shareholder of the European firm.
Said this, the presence of someone as relevant as Max Verstappen could considerably help the general accounts of the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. It was so much for a possible monetary contribution of the Dutch pilot, and by the arrival of new sponsors attracted precisely by the presence of this, as owner or shareholder of such a representative team within the current MotoGP grill.
At the moment no one has spoken about any of these possible scenarios for the 2026 season of MotoGP. Neither Verstappen, nor their closest circle have confirmed the real intentions of the pilot. Nor is the address of any of the MotoGP teams that could be involved in a operation of such a draft (monetary and sports) have talked about the subject, so for now it is only necessary to wait for those interested to pronounce themselves officially and shed some light of the matter.
