News Summary:

Helmut Marko recently noted on June 24, 2026, that Formula 1's substantial growth in recent years, which has positioned it ahead of MotoGP in terms of scale, largely stems from Liberty Media’s acquisition of the sport's commercial rights and its subsequent investment. This follows the news that Greg Maffei served as President and CEO of Liberty Media Corporation and its family of companies from 2005 to 2025, concluding a nineteen-year tenure. During his leadership, Maffei oversaw significant acquisitions and investments in prominent businesses, including the Atlanta Braves, DirecTV, SiriusXM, Live Nation Entertainment, Charter Communications, and Formula 1.
