It was a blow to the head that Maverick Viñales received in Brno who nevertheless always wants to be positive. In this sense, he could be relieved that, in his misfortune, he was lucky, since Dovizioso eleventh and Quartararo seventh could not escape the championship. Only fourteenth under the checkered flag, he nevertheless returned to the pits with plenty of questions, which he did not yet qualify as doubts. In any case, it's serious enough that he doesn't want to hear about a title for the moment...

Taking off his helmet at the end of the Czech Republic Grand Prix Maverick Vinales a question was asked: “ I think this is my worst result with Yamaha ". Then he analyzes: “ I don't know what happened, honestly. I felt good this morning and had good lap times, even with worn tires. But in the race, I couldn't keep up, not even for a lap ».

« I lost a lot of grip from the start, and little by little it got worse. The only thing I could do was try to finish and try to get points. If I had risked more, I could have made a zero and it would have been a mistake. So we took two very valuable points and, on the positive side, the championship leader didn't do well either, which reduces the damage. We need to check the data and try to be fast again in Austria » adds the teammate of a Red ranked fifth.

“I don’t want to attack anyone, far from it…”

« I don't want to attack anyone, far from it. I'm just trying to find a solution and figure things out. I like to understand why the bike didn't run today and why we often suffer between warm-up and the race. In the warm-up I have one of the best paces, but in the race it's different. It's okay to sit down, try to figure things out and make an evaluation Says Casa Particular in Viñales.

For the future of events, he is worried: “ for Austria it will be important to test well, to try to find what we need in low grip conditions, and that in Japan too they are working to give us that extra grip. Doing a timed lap is good, but in the race it costs us dearly ».

Casa Particular in Viñales ends his remarks thus: “ I know very well what is happening, so we must try to resolve it. If you are anxious, you start to be negative and you become nervous …then you get nothing out of it. If I have learned anything over these years, it is to be positive, to look where there is none and to move forward. I'm not thinking about the championship. The positive of this weekend is that Quartararo and Dovizioso also failed, and they are not leaving us in the championship. We have to try to understand for the next race what we need to do to be strong. We need to understand if it's just our part or if it's Yamaha's. But I don't even think about the title. We currently have too many other problems to think about ».
