Portimao MotoGP Test: Yamaha’s rear wing: ‘My mechanics said, ‘sorry, but I hope it's not working!’’
However, despite the extreme look, the Frenchman didn’t feel any difference when using it, much to the relief of his🐓 mechanics!
“You don't really feel [it],” Quartararo said. “I mean, i꧙t's not worse or better, but I don't think we're going to use it.”
When it was suggested that the wing - also tried by factory test rider Cal Crutchlow in Sepang - looked ugly, the 💦Frenchman replied:
“Yeah, ꧅my mechanics sai𝐆d, ‘Sorry, but I hope it's not working!’”
- Marc Marquez: ‘We cannot think about the podium, fifth to t♊e🎃nth’
- ‘Massive step’ fires Fabio Quartararo bacဣk into contention, ‘we were really lost’
- Po🧜rtimao MotoGP Test ꦍresults - Day 2, Sunday (FINAL)
- di Giannantonio angry at🥂 concussion: ‘The grav💙el is insane, better to race at Monaco!’
Without the wing, the 2021 world champion set the third fastest lap time as well as delivering an impressive Sprint race simulation, close to the very best by Ducati’s reigning champion and test leader Francesco Bagnaia🐻.
Since the rear seat area is not covered by the Aero Body rules there is no restriction on design changes, meaning the wiౠng can be 🐎modified and tried again at any time during the season.
Aprilia also te💛sted a new version of its rear wing design which, unlike the 'vanes' used by the likes of Ducati and Honda, is yet to be raced. The rear seat aero is designed to help with stabilty and rear grip under braking.
