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

“That makes me think that the show is happenin�💝�g [off screen].”

While Morbidelli battled the likes of Pol Espargaro, Marc Marquez, Fabio Quartararo, Johann Zarco and Jack Miller on his wa✃y from 15th to 11th place, Francesco Bagnaia and Brad Binder held first and second places throughout.

“Th𒁃e 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 about Fo🧸rmula 1, because Formula 1 [TV coverage]⛎ makes you follow also the battles of the midfield.

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

“There is an eight-time world champion [Marc Marquez]. There is a Quartararo, who is a world champion. There are people behi🥀nd fighting their arses off. Maybe things can improve in 🧔showcasing more of these kind of things during the race.”

But Morbidelli didn’t want to take𝓰 anything away from Bagnaia, who led every race lap on both Saturday and S𓆉unday.

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

“And he deserv💝es what he's experiencing right now. And for sure there is aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ lot more to come because he's rock steady.”

Unseen action aside, the 🎐general view was that the Red Bull Ring featured a lack of overtaking.

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

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

Replaced at Yamaha by Alex Rins for 2024, Morbideꦿlli i❀s yet to confirm his future plans.

But with Johann Zarco leaving Pramac Ducati and Moto2 stars Tony Arbolino and Jake Dixon appeari🌜ng to be out of the Mot🔯oGP running, Morbidelli seems assured of landing&🔥nbsp;a satellite Ducati seat.
