Yamaha’s great bet for the near future Through the hands of Fabio Quartarareither. The 2021 MotoGP world champion is the clear reference for the Japanese firm and is now also advising managers on the line to be made by the brand’s current teams.
Looking ahead to this weekend, when the Austrian Grand Prix takes place at the Red Bull Ring, the French driver spoke to the press and indicated that he still has a lot of work ahead of him in terms of setting up. the M1, in particular. if they want to get the necessary grip for their motorcycle: “At Silverstone we had problems with grip from all angles and I think this shows our main weak point. Unfortunately, itI reach the limit of the bike too easily and if I try to push harder I fall, “something that never happened to me”.
The Yamaha rider has said that this event will be another one on the calendar and that they will try to save the furniture as best they can, pointing out that their real point of interest is in the test they will do in Italy in the coming days before Aragon: “Compared to the site in England, we have returned to a more basic solution in the style of Assen and Sachsenring. We’ll also have fewer things to try, because we’ll have to too We will be in Misano for testing on Tuesday and Wednesday. The goal is to collect as much as possible.”
Fabio Quartararo knows that the Red Bull Ring circuit is one of the most special for him and Yamaha because of its peculiar configuration. In that senseon paper it should be a more favorable track for Iwata’s team because it’s a stop-and-go configuration, although the current M1 has nothing to do with the past.
“There’s usually a lot of grip on this circuit,” said colleague Alex Rins, who recognized that they will suffer especially in the second half of the range: “I think sector 1 and 2 will not be bad for us, and in the last two we will suffer more because there are some changes in direction. We don’t have much cornering speed, so we’ll have to mix the current solutions with the UK solutions, but Getting more mechanical and electronic grip will not be an easy task.”
2025 will be a very special year for the Japanese and they will again have a satellite team after finding Paolo Campinoti’s structure as the second factory structure. In that sense, #20 will be one of the fundamental pieces in Yamaha’s global project being the oldest active M1 pilot.

The French rider is clear about the lineup of the satellite team, betting indirectly on Miguel Oliveira and Jack Miller, who would bring very important information from Aprilia and KTM respectively. Of course, the big surprise would come with the arrival of Augusto Fernández as test driver, which is semi-confirmed: “I have been pushing for several months to find a test rider who has competed in MotoGP recently and wants to improve.”. My favorite is still Augusto Fernández. I’m sure he will be given a chance to make a wild card and then compete again. For the Campinoti team, it would be great to have a few veteran drivers. “Young people are perfect.” Fabio Quartararo.
