MotoGP<\/a> that allows customer teams to fight for championships, citing Pramac and Jorge Martin from 2024 as an example.<\/p>\n\u201cFirst of all, in MotoGP, let\u2019s call it the customer or privately-held team, you can win a championship,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year the world champion was an independent team. They were world champions.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you get the opportunity to do that with a private team. You don\u2019t need to be a works team to win the championship.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, you have to do a good job. But what stands out is the fan base could be so much bigger because the sport is so big, so great, the action is there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is one of the opportunities I see, to bring this very interesting, very cool sport to more people. And also for me personally to try to win something.<\/p>\n
\u201cWinning doesn\u2019t mean I want to win the world championship in the first or second year, but at least you can fight for podiums.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very close together in MotoGP and anything can happen any weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked when he could expect Tech3 to be a championship challenger, Steiner added: \u201cThree to five years. Until we build it up, until we put our feet under the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause it is something I respect a lot. I have to learn a lot because there are a lot of good people in MotoGP with a lot of experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I said before, to make experience takes time. We just need to set ourselves up to be competitive and to be able to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
