British Grand Prix polesitter Fabio Quartararo “cannot be optimistic” for Sunday’s MotoGP race at Silvers꧑tone as the Yamaha is suffering in the circuit’s low-grip condiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtions.

The 2021 world champion snatched a third successive pole for the first time since his title-winnin♔g year on Satu𓃲rday at Silverstone with a new lap record.

But his time leading the field in the sprint lasted just 14 corners as he was quickly overhauled by the Marquez brothers, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:before༒ f🦄ading to seventh by the chequered flag.

Sprint winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez and second-placed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez told the media they expected a strong challenge from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo, which the Yamaha rider agreed with.

However, he said the rear grip on his soft ওtyre was “critical” and 🎐was less than hopeful of a strong grand prix when the rear choice will be the harder medium option.

“I expected to ꦰbe faster but the grip for us was clearly real🧜ly critical and I could not be fast,” he told the media on Saturday at Silverstone.

“We had a lot of chatter. It was a big gap between the feeling of this morning and thꦅe feel💫ing this afternoon.

“And this has been a little bit of an usual feeling and we don’t understand why. So we have to un𒊎derstand this, especially on the low-grip tracks.”

He added: “Being honest with you, we cannot be reall♉y ♎optimistic for tomorrow.

“After the Moto2 race [and the Pirelli rubber it will leave on track], starting with the medium rear, everything will be with less grip and we know that is clearly a situation that is not great. But 💦we will try to enjoy the race and give our b♔est.”

All Yamaha riders battled grip issues in the sprint, which Quartararo says is a combination problem emanating from the𝓰 bike and the track conditions.

“I think that in the morning if you have one type of grip and in the a𝓀fternoon it is less, the delta between the other bikes is really big,” he explained.

“If there is a small differenceꦚ on the grip, for us we feel it like 10 times more than the others and we see that the pace we had in the sprint, compared to what we are used to, was super slow.

“We have to understand why when the conditions drop, we drop a🎃nd we don’t 🙈generate any kind of grip.

“First lap, Alex Marquez overtook me before the finish line. I’m♔ not stupid, I know how to ride, but overtaking me in this situation in this position is frustrating.”

Quartararo noted that the chatter problems hℱe had in the sprint led to him “jumping” in some corners.

Yamaha can’t use all power from new engine

Quartararo was still on for a top five result in the latter st👍ages of the sprint having held eventual t🌳hird-place finisher Fabio Di Giannantonio on the factory-spec VR46 Ducati at bay.

But he says this was down to the M1’s new, lighter aero update bro𓄧ught to Silverstone rather than the new engine introduced at Le Mans, which he can’t fully exploit due to the bike💟’s lack of “mechanical grip”.

“It’s some positives but if you check my top speed I’m last by far and even if the new engine is better, 💙we have to think that the aero package we have is much lighter than there [Ducati’s] one.

“But they go much faster.

“So, I don’t know exactly how much more horsepower they have, but we see the🦋 small difference we made o👍n the aero from the Misano test has been a small advantage.

“So, I cannot imagine wi✤th this big aero how muꦫch it helps. Yeah, it’s better, but we miss a lot.

“We cannot use the [full] power because clearly the mech❀anical grip we have is way too low.

“On one lap it’s ok, but in the race, wܫhere Alex Marquez overtook me, is cle༺arly a place where it’s impossible to overtake.

“Apparently it’s possible, but I’ve never overt𝕴aken someone in my whole career like that. But we can’t use the power that we have.”
