Their long-term approach will enrich\u00a0MotoGP\u00a0and bring more attention.\u201d<\/p>\n Later asked if there are any aspects of the single-seat series that MotoGP can take inspiration from, Neumeister replied, \u201cIn\u00a0Formula 1, there is a cost cap, a rule that helps all teams, even the smallest ones, to be competitive. <\/p>\n This is important. And it is equally important that there is also a\u00a0consensus\u00a0on how the\u00a0championship\u2019s revenues\u00a0will be distributed between teams and manufacturers.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Everything to know about KTM Tech3 including the MotoGP team\u2019s riders<\/a><\/p>\n How would constructors be affected if MotoGP did introduce a cost cap?<\/p>\n Ducati\u2019s recent success in MotoGP can be attributed to a number of key factors in play.
