A new Yamaha fairing was a “surprise” addition to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo’s Yamaha M1 at the British MotoGP.

Yamꦍaha and Quartararo tested at Misano between th🐎e French and British Grands Prix, with a new fairing on the itinerary for the test.

Quartararo said on Thursday that he was not expecting to have the wings he tested in Misano availab👍le at Silverstone, but the tea✃m gave him a “surprise” on Friday morning.

“The team told me we have a surprise, but it’s still not the full one,” the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Monster Energy Yamaha 🔥🦋rider said after Practice at the British Grand Prix.

“It’✅s a prototype, it’s not a carbon one. The weight is a bit heavier, but I felt i꧙t was an advantage and I wanted to use it.

“Also, Alex [Rins] didn’t really 🥃like it, so it was easy to [decide] who was going toꦅ have the aero.”

Quartararo added that the revised design he🥂lps with turning.

“Little bit better turnin🦩g,” he said when asked how it helps.

“It’s not a massive difference, but my feeling wasꦅ like that, 🗹and my feeling matched the data, so we decided to homologate this fairing.”

The French rider also had a new swingarm in the morning, but discarde🧸d it for the afternoon.

“Clearly only the morning because the new ﷽[swingarm]👍 was not working at all and I went back to the standard one for the afternoon,” he said.

“So I wa💞s only using the standard one in the afternoon.”

In general, it had been a good Friday f🧸or Yama🎐ha, who had three bikes in the top-10 in Practice.

Quartararo said tha🐷t the bike is particularly strong over one lap, and that having two other Yamahas close to him in terms of lap time was positive.

“Especially on one lap it’s ꦺgood,” Quartararo said.

“I think in the past 🙈when we started in 2022 to get a🌟 little bit lower in the pace we were a little bit weaker, but now it looks like we start to be back on the one-lap pace, and we are working a lot to do the race pace a bit better.

“Hopefully we can find a solu🅘tion for the race pace, even if here it’s quite okay.”

He added: “I’m feeling happy to say that Jack [Miller] is there, and Alex, and Miguel [Oliveira] who is step-by-step comiಌng back.

“Usually you never want your teammates to be close, normally you want the b🗹iggest gap possible, but to see them every time closer and c𓄧loser and more to the top is something that I really like and something that we will have a lot of data to analyse.”

The reason for the recent upturn in one-lap speed – Quartararo comes ▨to Silverstone having been on pole in the last two Grands Prix – is about consistency in the package.

“For me, i𓂃t’s [one-lap speed improvements] the consistency that, since Qatar [...] we keep the same base and small modifications.

“Since Qatar we changed quite a lot the bike,” he clarified, “[b🌠ut] only a few details and this was the difference, and has always bee🦋n one of my strongest points to be on the limit for one lap.”

He continued: “The confidence is there and I think Jack, Alex, and M🅺iguel are getting it also.”

Finally, Quartararo said that a first-ever 1:56 was possible on Saturday, though nﷺot necessarily from him.

“I think tomorrow, if 🐎tꦚhe weather is good, we will [lap in] the 1:56s,” he said.

“Maybe not me, but I tꦿhink the lap time will drop to 1:56.”
