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.

Yamaha and Quartararo tested at Misano be꧑tween the 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 available at Silverstone, but ⛎the team gave him a “surp🔜rise” 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 Gr👍and Prix.

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

“Also, Alex [Ri൩ns] didn’t really like it, so it was easy to [decidಌe] who was going to have the aero.”

Quar🐻tararo added that th🐲e revised design helps with turning.

“Little bit better tur🐲ning,” he said when asked how it helps.

“It’s no🐽t a massive difference, but my feeling was like that, and my feeling matche𒉰d the data, so we decided to homologate this fairing.”

The French rider also had a new swingarm in the morning, ♋but discarded it🍸 for the afternoon.

“Clearly only the morning because the new [swing๊arm] was not working at all and I went back to the standard one for the afternoo🔥n,” he said.

“So I was only using the standard one in the ꦚafternoon.”

In geꦅneral, it had been a good Frida✱y for Yamaha, who had three bikes in the top-10 in Practice.

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

“Especiaඣlly 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 🍰wor𝄹king a lot to do the race pace a bit better.

“Hope🥀fully we can find a ꧟solution 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 coming back.

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

ౠThe 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, it’s [one-lap speed improvements] the consistency that, since Qatar [...] we ke𒉰ep the same base and small modifications.

“Since Qatar we changed quite a lot 🉐the bike,” he clarified, “[but] only a few details and this was the differe𝄹nce, and has always been one of my strongest points to be on the limit for one lap.”

He co♏ntinued: “The confidence is there and I think Jack, Alex, and Miguel are getting it also.”

Finally, Quartararo said that a first-ever 1:56 was po꧅ssible on Saturday, though not necessarily from him.

“I think to꧂morrow, if the weather is goo💙d, we will [lap in] the 1:56s,” he said.

“💙Maybe not me, but I think the lap time will drop𒈔 to 1:56.”
