Steiner compares MotoGP and F1: 'You need to be a special breed to do this'

Since taking over as a co-owner in KTM's satellite Tech3 squad, Steiner has been pretty quiet and seems to be spending the first season assessing rather than asserting any new changes.

With that said, Tech3's future in 2027 and beyond is uncertain, with rumours that they might look to switch to Honda or Ducati as their factory supplier in the future. For the time being, it seems Steiner is still taking in all the new nuances and differences compared to his old profession.

In a recent interview with the MotoGP channel, Steiner was asked how the sport of MotoGP compared to his previous life in F1 and what the key differences were between the two racing disciplines:

"For me, MotoGP is new. I find it one of the most, if not the most, exciting sports in the world," He said, "When you get involved, it is always surprising how competitive this sport is. How much the rider has influence on the racing here, it's unbelievable how up and down it can be, it depends on the rider."

"I think you need to be different to do what they are doing, in my opinion. I mean, what these guys do on a bike is unbelievable. We all think we know how to ride a motorbike. But when you look at what they are doing, it's not riding a motorbike! This is riding an awesome machine, at a very high level."

"You can see it on TV so just imagine doing what they are doing. For me, as a human being, it's impossible. So, I just can see how much the risk they need to take. They fall down, stand up and run back to get on the bike again. You need to be a special breed to do this!"
