Why does MotoGP at Britain's Silverstone fall short of the excitement generated by the F1 Grand Prix held there? Former F1 team principal Guenther Steiner says the reason shouldn't be pinned on a lack of effort. A look into the challenges facing two-wheeled racing at a storied circuit.
Talk about MotoGP's attendance next to F1's stings a bit for a race nut like me. But having watched it in person, I'm telling you two-wheel racing is every bit as exciting as F1. The issue is how it's communicated. How do you get that intensity and the riders' rawness across — that's not a problem you can just chalk up to 'not trying hard enough.'
