After the pre-season tests in okThere are several conclusions that can be drawn. One of them is that in terms of single-lap performance, the Yamaha has a big problem. Fabio Quartararorunner-up last season, leaving Malaysia in 17th position one second at the best time heard.
Yamaha focused most of their winter efforts on improving their M1’s engine after last year they had the fewest bikes on the grid. In this sense, the champion of 2021 is satisfied with the improvement but in qualifying they are losing a lot of time and the worst is that they don’t know why.
“The sensations are not very good. They are in some places, and with a used tire I am very happy. But fitting a new tire is a nightmare. We need to find out why with the new tire we can’t make a step and we know that this is the most important thing right now. There will be qualifying and sprint races, and right now we can’t take that step,” said Quartararo.
One of the strong points of the Frenchman’s MotoGP start is the ‘time attack’. In his first year he achieved 6 pole positions but instead last season he achieved only one It’s the start of the season.
“I don’t know what’s happening and that’s the main problem and the biggest question mark. I feel that every year we lose more and more in qualifying. In 2019, my first year, I had many pole positions, then someone fell and fell… and now it is impossible. But the worst part is that we don’t know why“.
In just a few weeks, the final tests will arrive in Portimao, the circuit where the 2023 World Championship opens. Yamaha immediately arrived and was working against the clock to fight for the important things.
