Maverick Vinales remains focused on achieving 🍌the best results possible with Yamaha through the final nine MotoGP races of 2021, b✤efore a likely move to Aprilia. 

Vinales and Yamaha chose to ♏part ways during the Dutch Grand Prix weekend, a surprising decision given the Spaniard🌄’s deal wasn’t due to end until after the 2022 season.

But although tensions have been running high as the season’s gone on - despi✤te getting off to a win in Qatar, the Spaniard is eager to finish what’s been an up-and-🌠down five years with the Japanese manufacturer on a high. 

The 27 year-ol🦄d discussed his ‘really difficult situation’ during the pre-event press conference, while extendin🌱g an apology to fans ‘for my attitude’. 

"The summer break has been fantastic! We came from a good resul♕t (Assen) which🐷 is important so I enjoy a lot the summer. 

"We come here with a good motivation and at the end, for sure, I want to take the chance to apologise to the fans because sometimes my attitude is not the best. But you know, I🦋’m dealing with a new situation whౠich is difficult. 

"I'm very frustrated, so sometimes I’m not good with communication but I’m learning and trying to ꦆimprove. 

"🍃I’m trying to give more information about what is going on. Yamaha is a great team, but for me right now not."

For one reason oꦿr another, Vinales has been very hot and cold this se🃏ason, often lamenting the fact he can suddenly be extremely quick or the complete opposite without understanding why. 

"We didn’t have enough capacit🅘y to find m♕y best performance and I think right now the most important thing is to concentrate," added Vinales. 

"For sure I’m🦄 really motivated and I will give my maximum. There is no doubt that I will give my maximum 𒐪in every race, every lap. 

"Abo𒀰ut my future, right now I’m concentrating 🦄on that but I cannot tell anymore because I’m concentrating on this race."
