Y🥀amaha has made a step forwards at the Malaysian MotoGP, according to Fabio Quartararo.

Both Quartararo and his factory Yamaha teammate Alex Rins had used updated electronics in Malaysia, which Quartararo accepted was a step forward, even though he expects more to come in terಌms of performance in other areas.

“I don’t think it’s [electronics] the key, but we will never gain half-a-second🔴 by only finding the grip, by one thing,” he said.

“I think we have to find half-a-tenth somewhere, half-a-tenth by the electronics, half-a-tenth by♒ the swingarm, by the power.

“I think that we💫 made a step clearly, on [electronics], and♏ I think there are many more steps to do, but the good thing is that we have a lot of ideas that we don’t try yet. The winter will be busy for the engineers.”

Alex Rins, who was able to race in Malaysia with a new specification of Yamaha’s MotoGP engine, was also 🤡happy with his Malaysian Grand Prix, although he felt his potential would have been higher had the first start ⛦not been red flagged for a crash involving Quartararo and the two factory KTM riders: Brad Binder and Jack Miller.

“Inside our possi✨bilities, we did a step forward, especially starting on the Yamaha so far [back],” Rins said.

“Honestly, since Saturday I was feeling quite🐼 good on the bike.

“Unlucky, this red flag: I did an unbelievable start, I was there fighting with Marc [Marquez], but anyway I give it my maximum𓆏, I try to contওrol the tyres as much as possible.

“Still, we need to improve, we need to understand why the drop is still 🉐quite highജ. But honestly we are working in a good way.”
