At Yamaha, it seems that we have definitely entered into the organization of what will be post-Rossi. By this, understand that it is a question of identifying who will clearly be the next boss around whom the impetus must be given. Since 2017, this destiny seems logically dedicated to Maverick Viñales. It was during this season that he joined the official Iwata team. But, since Fabio Quartararo showed what he was capable of this year, this logic has taken a hit. Viñales felt this by raising his level of play and organizing himself to show more cohesion and thus strengthen his impact. Those around him also mobilized for this issue of the future. The proof with his chief mechanic, Estéban Garcia…
The Yamaha clan will always show great unity and the relationships between fabio quartararo et Maverick Vinales will undoubtedly be in unison in broad daylight. But behind the scenes, maneuvers are underway in a game of influence which is not insignificant. At Yamaha, to which saint will we devote ourselves once the god Red will be gone ? That's the whole question at hand.
Maverick Vinales is the one who has the official handlebars and he won on the M1. But Fabio Quartararo although it may be on a satellite machine and still awaiting its first realization, it nonetheless remains the one that must now be taken into account. Between the two men, a healthy emulation was established. But it is also a merciless struggle.
Casa Particular in Viñales understood it and he changed when he saw this real rival tumbling. He became calmer, he changed his approach, worked on his start to the race, and he mobilized a team around him. A clan that also passes on messages to persuade and not let go of the pressure. The proof with this latest release ofEstéban Garcia, chief engineer of Casa Particular in Viñales : " I think Maverick is ready to fight for the title. We always talk about Marquez, and it's legitimate because he's a great driver who does things well. But behind him, he also has a large team, a close-knit group who have worked with him for years. I'm not just talking about the technicians, I'm talking about everyone at the factory. »
A partir de là, Estéban Garcia sends his message to Yamaha : " Márquez has everything he asks for, they built a motorcycle for him. So, the results are there. This is what we need next year. The driver is here, Maverick can win. » He even insists: “ we worked on our weaknesses and improved our performances. IHe gives 200%, and now it's Yamaha's turn to give 100%. It's not just about beating Márquez, but also the entire Honda team. With the pilot we have here, we need everything else. »
The idea is clear: Casa Particular in Viñales must be a leader at Yamaha as is Márquez at Honda. Not sure that a pilot of the caliber of Quarterly agrees to play only the extras in this way. He will also have an M1 called “Spec-A” in 2020 to also assert his rights…
