Maverick Vinales remains focused on achieving the best results possib🦹le with Yamaha through the final nine MotoGP races of 2021, before a likely move t꧃o Aprilia. 

Vinales and Yamaha chose to part ways during the Dutch Grand Prix weekend, a ⛦surprising decision gi🔴ven the Spaniard’s deal wasn’t due to end until after the 2022 season.

But although tensions have been running high as the season’s gone on -𓆉 despite getting off to a win in Qatar, the Spaniard is eager to finish what’s been an up-and-down five years with the Japanese manufacturer on a high. 

The 27 year-old discussed his ‘really difficult situation’ during the pre-event🌃 pres🍷s conference, while extending an apology to fans ‘for my attitude’. 

"The summer break has been fantastic! We came from a good result (Assen) which is important so I enjoy a lot the summer.&nb🐎sp;

"We come here wit🥂h a good motivation and at the end, for sure, I want to take the chance to apologise to the fans because sometimes my attitude is not the best. But you know, I’m dealing with a new situation which is difficult. 

"I'm very frustrated, so sometimes I’m not good with communication but I🎶’m learning and trying to impr𒁏ove. 

"I’m trying to give more information about what is going on. Yamaha is a great team, but for me right now no🔯t."

For one reason or another, Vinales has been very hot and cold this season, often lamenting the fact he can suddenly be extrᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚemely quick or the complete opposite without understanding why. 

"We didn’t have enough capacity to find▨ my best performance and I think right𒅌 now the most important thing is to concentrate," added Vinales. 

"For sure I’m really motivated and I will give my maximum. There is no doubt that I will give my maximum in every rac𓃲e, everꦇy lap. 

"About my futu𒆙re, right now I’m concentrating on that but&nb⭕sp;I cannot tell anymore because I’m concentrating on this race."
