sammynb 3355 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 10 hours ago, spongebob toonpants said: This article seems to be saying the engines are sealed for the season. Hope I'm wrong https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/yamaha-shares-quartararos-motogp-engine-frustration/7956333/ As per MotoGP's technical regulations, all manufacturers not running with concessions will have their engines homologated by the FIM and sealed for the first round of the season. As a result, engine development will be frozen for the entirety of the campaign. With MotoGP's final pre-season test taking place this weekend, Yamaha would only be able to bring an updated engine to Qatar prior to its homologation, and Quartararo has ruled out running anything he hasn't been able to test. Ah got you but that's really down to what I said about Yamaha and how their engineers feel the engine has more than enough power and more would compromise other aspects of the bike. The big thing about the Japanese maunfacturers is that they have this unflinching belief that they are right and it is disrespectful to question any technical decisions they have made, just look at the times Honda has won the championship and then the following season made a completely new bike that is a horror, instead of just improving the winning machine they already have. Yamaha last year won both the MotoGP and Superbike championships, they would believe nothing but their own hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're being really cagey about it, talk of it being a fuel pump issue but fuel starvation doesn't send you into a spin and seize the drivetrain instantly. Transmission failure if you ask me.

Craig 6682 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 There's serious potential in that car, they just need to untap it. Once they've got the floor profile sorted and it doesn't 'porpoise' that thing will challenge for victories without doubt. The only reason they are losing straightline speed is they can't yet get it close enough to the ground. Ironic really when they were one of the teams who had a low rake car last year. I wouldn't at all be surprised if they have an updated aero package for Imola in a month's time that brings them completely back into play. The Ferrari's look strong and reliable. It's their titles to lose this year. Red Bull have a good car but it's clearly besieged by reliability issues and a driver who's already spitting his dummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was crazy. Exciting stuff mind Probably a good job it rained otherwise we would have ended up with 6 laps They had to cut the Moto2 to half distance because neither the track or the tyres would last. Pathetic The Marquez high-side was horrifying. I don't think he will retire, but if he does get back I hope he doesn't do himself permanent damage. Much as I dislike him I wouldn't wish that on anyone. He used to be a danger to everybody else, now he's mainly a danger to himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
