Although Yamaha is currently not at its best level in MotoGP, the company has never considered leaving the championship. This assurance comes from Lin Jarvis, who, however, did not shy away from stating that the ‘current situation is not acceptable.’
In an interview with Michel Turco, the General Director of Yamaha Motor Racing emphasized that despite recent challenges, the manufacturer never contemplated exiting the competition. Jarvis stated, “Yamaha never thought about leaving MotoGP. It was never discussed within the company’s management. It’s true that we don’t just want to be there; we aim to compete for podiums, victories, and championships, which is why the current situation is not acceptable.”
However, Jarvis made it clear that the team’s ambition is to regain its competitive edge as quickly as possible. He said, “Yamaha has no plans to withdraw from racing, but it wants to regain its competitiveness as soon as possible.”
For the upcoming season, Yamaha will continue with Fabio Quartararo as its primary rider, and he will be joined by Álex Rins, who is currently racing for LCR Honda.
