Rins Expressed Dissatisfaction with Quartararo’s Gear
...Yamaha-Works rider Alex Rins finished 14th in the Catalunya Grand Prix, affected by the incidents during the race and following the performances of teammate Miller and Razgatlioglu. However, he failed to meet expectations in the final test session.
Rins’ Performance and Criticism at the Catalunya GP
Alex Rins had reached 14th place at the Catalunya Grand Prix despite the chaotic events, but in the final test session, he expressed criticisms regarding the time spent and the gear he used, following the three-year partnership with Yamaha. Rins was able to get out on the track for 40 laps and secured 13th place in qualifying. This performance caused him to be approximately 90,000 (approximately) minutes behind Pedro Acosta’s (KTM) best time, which dominated the race and could have been achieved in the next lap.
“We lost too much time again,” the experienced pilot said. “We are still fighting for grip and traction between electronics and chassis.”
Rins particularly expressed his doubts about the newly developed gear. The gear did not improve driving performance, instead of providing an advantage on the track. He had the opportunity to test the gear with Fabio Quartararo, but did not achieve any advantage during this test.
Expectations and Issues at Mugello
Rins drew attention to the potential problems that could occur at the Mugello race due to the speed deficit of the Yamaha package. In the recent Barcelona Grand Prix, Yamaha riders were approximately 12 km/h behind the fastest prototypes. This showed Yamaha’s continued efforts to work on the current engine alongside its development of the 850cc engine specifically for 2027.
Rins said, “We don’t want the season to end like this,” emphasizing Yamaha’s commitment to continuing work on the current engine. Before the Mugello race, it was known that Yamaha was developing new parts and continuing its tests to solve these problems.
Conclusion
Rins’ criticisms regarding his performance at the Catalunya Grand Prix and the gear highlighted Yamaha’s strategy for 2027 and the importance of its work on the current engine. Yamaha continues to work intensively to solve these problems and aims to show a better performance in the final races of the season.
