“After a race where I felt꧟ engaged, I was recovering, I had some crazy overtaking, I had some moments… and the first question - and therefore the most important questio🗹n - is about my future,” he said.

“That makes me think that the show is happening [off🦄 screen]𝓡.”

While Morbidelli battled the likes of Pol Espargaro, Marc Marquez, Fabio Quartararo, Johann Zarco and Jack Miller on his way from 15th to 11th place, Francesco Bagnaia and Bra🌳d B𓃲inder held first and second places throughout.

“The show is happening at the front of the field, but also in the famous ‘midfield♐’ there are things happening,” Morbidelli added. “There are strong riders and strong battles.

“I was thinking abou🎃t Formula 1, because Formula 1 [TV cov🌺erage] makes you follow also the battles of the midfield.

“I was thinkiꦺng that maybe there is some room to improve and some way to make stand-out also some things in the midfℱield, because we have some hell of a riders there now.

“There is an eight-time world champion [Marc Marq▨uez]. There is a Quartararo, who is a world champion. There are people behind fighting their arses off. Maybe things can improve in shᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚowcasing more of these kind of things during the race.”

But Morbidelli didn’t want to takꦍe anything aw🤪ay from Bagnaia, who led every race lap on both Saturday and Sunday.

“I think that Pecco is doing a hell of a job. I think that he's dominating the category. I ꦛthink that he's showing the skills and the especially the mind of a true champion,” Morbidelli said.

“And he deserves what he's experiencing right now. And for s𒁃ure there is a lot more🐽 to come because he's rock steady.”

Unseen action♔ aside, the general view was t🍃hat the Red Bull Ring featured a lack of overtaking.

Opinions were 𓃲divided on whether it was down to the new real-time tyre pressure enforcement, aerodynamics or simply the stop-go track layout.

From his perspective, Morbidelꦿli, who crossed the line just two seconds behind team-mate Fabio Quartararo in eighth, was clear: “The tyre pressure is still a great deal [issue]. It takes away performance and show♔.”

Rep𝔉laced at Yamaha by Alex Rins for 2024, Morbidelli is yet to confirm his future pla♛ns.

But with Johann Zarco leaving Pramac Ducati and Moto2 stars Tony Arbolino and 𒈔J༺ake Dixon appearing to be out of the MotoGP running, Morbidelli&🤪nbsp;seems✨ assured of landing a satellite Ducati seat.
