It's a habit that is starting to take hold, to the great dismay of Maverick Viñales who would like to reverse the trend. Because the Yamaha official is still him. But since the start of the season in Jerez, he has been running behind Fabio Quartararo who always seems to be one step ahead of him. This Saturday's qualifying in Brno was no exception to the rule, and even less so since the Spaniard also sees Franco Morbidelli in front of him. But he explains the reason just as he admits his intention to give change on Sunday, during the race...
Maverick Vinales will start fifth in the Czech Republic Grand Prix, a rank which leaves intact all his chances of doing well for the race that presents itself. Even if, on the starting grid, he appears only second of the official drivers, since Aleix Espargaró is in front of him with his Aprilia…Meanwhile, the front line is manned by satellite pilots!
More Casa Particular in Viñales explains how he got there, by making his mea culpa: “ it was my mistake. I wanted to go out twice. The team gave me a good package, but I misjudged it so I didn't have time » recognizes the Top Gun. “ I immediately felt very good and with a good rhythm. But I made a mistake trying to keep the same bike ».
The positive attitude
« The team did a good job and I think we'll have a good opportunity to improve on Sunday, so I'm pretty curious to see what we can do and I have a positive mentality. The race will be very long and demanding on the tires. We will try to stay in the lead and a positive point is that the first corner is quite far away, so I think we can recover some positions at the start » ends a Casa Particular in Viñales which rejects any theme that would pollute its desire to be positive at all costs.
So the tires: “ two years ago I decided not to talk about tires anymore. The situation is as it is and the tires are fine. We just have to find out which way is right ». Casa Particular in Viñales is currently second in the championship, ten points behind his future teammate at Yamaha, fabio quartararo.
