In his presentation, which is the explanation of the change of era that MotoGP is currently experiencing, understood by the European manufacturers as refused by their Japanese counterparts, Davide Brivio insisted on a new organization of data management to be put in place for succeed. We need a short transmission circuit between two entities, that of the track and that of the factory, with relationships which are no longer hierarchical but optimized by a virtuous synergy. Certainly, but the pilot in all this? In the past, his word was gospel when he got off the machine. This is no longer the case. The former Suzuki man assures him: his sensations are just one more piece of data to be synthesized and cross-referenced with a mountain of others... Which amounts to questioning once again the strategies still in progress at Honda and Yamaha with Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo…
Davide Brivio sheds light on slick-magazine on the current recipe for success in MotoGP. A real cultural revolution we already talked about, and putting Japanese manufacturers clinging to their routine and other certainties into a rut. But also a trend which brings into the ranks the expertise of the pilot, formerly sacrosanct. The Italian who now plays in Formula 1 thus drops this other emblem: “ In today's MotoGP, the rider's commentary, once considered sacred, is no longer enough he says. " The rider is doing very well, because he is the one on the bike, but his judgment, his sensations, must be supported by more precise scientific data. This becomes just the stimulus to start searching. It is a “complaint” which must be investigated. ».
Davide Brivio: “ pilots always say the same thingss”
« It's evolution » he assures. “ MotoGP is now a much more technological environment, and new technologies must be used. Because drivers always say the same things: there is little grip, there is no acceleration, there is little feeling in the corners... But we must understand why, and this can be explained today by the most serious and sophisticated analysis of data. Modern MotoGP demands this to be done, and European manufacturers are now doing it ».
Then he finishes: “ data and technology require very different work to make the motorcycle efficient, that is, able to exploit the grip of the tires. Gone are the days when the problem was solved with a frame dedicated to one rider, or by making a motorcycle with the characteristics of a specific rider ". A conclusion that hurts Honda monoculture addict Marc Marquez while at Yamaha we seem to have taken this path with fabio quartararo. A necessity more than a choice revealing once again an impotence whose root is internal disorganization upstream.
