MotoGP Malaysia: Fabio Quartararo: “Yamaha will have to use concessions well, important year”

Having all achieved at least one podium, none of the five factories are eligible for the present concession systꩵem, which offers more engin𓆉e changes per rider, private testing with race riders, in-season engine and aero development, plus more wild-cards.
But with testing limited and the new Sprint weekend format eಌating into free practice time, there ar🐈e concerns Yamaha and Honda (or any other manufacturers in future) will find it hard to rise from the bottom of the constructors’ table.
In Yamaha’s case, as the only factory without the extra data from a satellite team, out-developing the series leaಌders is an even harde💮r task.
A revised concession system, ꦗmaking it easier for manufact♓urers to drop in and out of concessions, plus some new technical perks, is thus on the table.
Among the new concessions mooted is a change in the test tyre allocation, so that the amount of tyres is no longer the same for all manufactu𝕴rers.
Michelin’s Piero Taramasso told 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:mahbx.com the company would be “open to🔴 all propositions” when asked about such a move earlier this y♑ear.
The future division of test tyres could either be based on the ꦚnumber of bikes on the grid (fewer race riders = more test tyres) or proportional to race results.
The number of wild-cards a factory can have&nbs🅺p;each season als🎀o appears up for debate. Not that Quartararo thinks such restrictions will hamper Ducati much.
“They have ꦗeight bikes!” he said. “It’s imp♛ortant for us, first of all, to have back a satellite team.”

But a Yamaha s👍atellite team won’t happen for next season.
And while Ducati is alr♋eady confirmed as filling the top three places in this year’s world championship, Yamaha now has just two more chances💟 to avoid its first winless MotoGP campaign since 2003.
Indeed, despite a better second half, Quartararo has a fight on 🦂his hands with Jack Miller (KTM) and Alex Marquez (Gresini Ducati) just to remain in the final riders’ t꧂op ten.
Against that backdrop, the 2021 world champion emphasised that whatever likely benefits Yamaha ha♉s access to next season, the k🃏ey will be to make the most of them.
“The concessions next year I think, if we have them, we have to use them really well because I don't think we will have them for so l🎶ong,” Quartararo said, confirming the new conce🧜ssions are likely to be gained and lost more easily than at present.
“I think ifꦺ we have [access to] them for half a year or one year, it will be a lot.
“So we have to u♏se them [to the maximum while we have them] and I think it will be the most important year for Yamaha.
“So hopefully they can really take the benefit of these conc𒀰essions.”
Quartararo will be joined by new team-mate Alex Rins next season, while Yamaha is targeting 2025 to secure a satel🧜lite team.
A Yamaha rider since his 2019 MotoGP debut, Quartararo’s current c🐭ontract expires at the end of next y💮ear.
