Petronas Yamah☂a ri🎀ders Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli are both confident of a strong showing at this weekend's British MotoGP.

Quartararo arrives fresh from the third podium (and sixth front-rowও) of his rookie season, in Spielberg, a result that has put him directly behind factory M1 riders Maverick Vinales and Valentino Rossi in the world championship standings.

As well as looking forward to the♋ flowing Silverstone curves, the young Frenchman will face less of the usual rookie disadvantages since no-one has yet tried the new asphalt.

"The Silverstone rac🍬e will be really good for us because it’s a track that really suits the Yamaha, and we can’t arrive any better than having fini🌺shed on the podium in Austria," Quartararo said.

"It’s been nice to have a week to rest and train since then, and it means that as alwa🅰ys I’m arriving to Silverstone ready to make the best result possible. I’m feeling r👍eally confident about heading to a track with shorter straights and more corners than the Red Bull Ring.”

Morbidelli is currently twelfth in the world championship𝔉, five places behind his team-mate. The Italian is a big fan of the Silverstone t💃rack and pleased to finally make his belated race debut at the venue in the premier-class, after last year's cancellation.

“I was disappointed last year’s race was cancelled b🔴ecause the track is great, with 🧸something of everything," he said.

"It’s a very long lap at Silverstone, full of nice corners and it ha🔯s a lot of history too. The first section of corners are a really nice dance on the bike - it leaves you full of adrenaline every lap!

"I think the Yamaha will per♔form really well at Silverstone because our bike suits flowing corners instead of slow corners, where you have to accelerate hard on the exit.”

This w♉eekend marks the one-year anniv🌄ersary since the formation of the new Petronas Yamaha team was officially confirmed to the world's media with a presentation at Silverstone.
