That would be really cool. I'm not very familiar with MotoGP, but they have different curb/runoff/etc. requirements, right? Are there a lot of F1 races that meet requirement for both series? I know they already share some tracks on different weekends.

My understanding is that most if not all dedicated tracks that F1 races on could be Moto GP tracks, but street circuits would be no. The bigger issue is the loss of good GP tracks that F1 could not use. Like Laguna Seca, it has one of the best corner complexes in racing but F1 can't race there. And we all know they would axe moto GP races before F1
