MILLER, LE MANS’TA Q2’YE YÜKLENDİ – YAMIHA’NIN GELİŞİMİ SÜREDE
The Barcelona Catalunya Grand Prix concluded with a weekend that showcased the potential of Yamaha’s V4 engine ([/bikes/yamaha-r1]). This time, Yamaha’s fastest rider, Pramac Racing pilot Jack Miller, took the lead.
Miller’s Entry into Q2
The Australian driver finished ninth in the day’s session, trailing the leader by just 0.2 seconds, which was the first time he had qualified directly for Q2 throughout the season. Speaking after the session, Miller stated, “Being ninth with a 0.1 second gap is truly incredible.” Miller immediately felt confident on the track, having previously driven V4 engines on tracks like Catalunya, and was able to increase his pace, reducing his lap times by approximately one second, particularly by placing more trust in the front tire.
“We had some data available to us. That’s why I was confident from the start.” – Jack Miller
Yamaha’s Development Process
Miller emphasized that Yamaha’s development process would take time, stating, “I don’t know what anyone is expecting, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.” He explained that the process requires trial and error, hundreds of tests, and continuous improvement, and that the work of the race weekend and test team members Augusto and Dovi was also crucial.
Razgatlıoğlu’s Grip Issues
Our representative, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, finished the day in 19th place, trailing Pedro Acosta by 0.821 seconds. Razgatlıoğlu was unhappy with the ineffectiveness of the morning session’s grip performance, stating, “This morning was incredible but in a bad way: To be honest, I didn’t feel the motorcycle gripping the track at all. I felt like I was sliding on ice.”
“This also reminded me to stop thinking about my Superbike habits and adapt to this new phase of my MotoGP career.” – Toprak Razgatlıoğlu
Lessons Learned from Quartararo
Razgatlıoğlu stated that he learned important things by following Yamaha pilot Fabio Quartararo during the race. He realized that he shouldn’t place too much trust in the front tire and was able to improve his lap times. “I learned a lot from his approach to the corners,” said Razgatlıoğlu, expressing his desire to apply this information and take another step forward to better prepare for the Saturday race.
