Yamaha is gearing up for the upcoming MotoGP season by fine-tuning its racing machine to be more competitive on the track.

While there won’t be a massive 180-degree change, the team is focused on steady progress, making the most of concessions to deliver a stronger YZR-M1.

Massimo Meregalli, the Managing Director, shared that the final M1 won’t be unveiled at the Sepang tests. He stressed the team’s commitment to a careful development process, saying, “We won’t see the final M1 there, but I hope it’ll be more competitive.”

Yamaha’s concessions will be key to their year-long plan. Meregalli highlighted how these concessions empower the team to work on all aspects of the YZR-M1 throughout the season. Expected improvements include tweaks to aerodynamics, a potential engine upgrade, and a new chassis, showcasing Yamaha’s dedication to refining every part of their MotoGP machine.

In a strategic move for better results, Yamaha retained 2021 champion Fabio Quartararo. The team also signed Álex Rins, strengthening Yamaha’s lineup for the upcoming season.

As the team anticipates the challenges of the 2023 MotoGP season, Yamaha’s strategy of continuous improvement and smart use of concessions shows their commitment to staying at the forefront of the competitive racing world. Motorcycle racing fans can look forward to the unveiling of a more polished and competitive YZR-M1 as Yamaha aims for success in the upcoming season.
