Morbidelli, wඣhose future as a factory Yamaha rider is expected to be disclosed after the summer break, said that it was simply a reflection of the situation they are facing at present.

But he also highlighted Monster Yamaha’s more favourable, mid-table, ra⛎nking in the Teams’ standings.

That, said the Italian, indicates both he and🍒 Fabio Quartararo are “doing close to the maximum” with what they have available.

“[The Constructors’ ranking]… is just a reflection of what is happening every track session and every race and we ar🉐e not surprised by that. We are just fully focused on working to improve that situation,” Morbidelli said.

“I'm not daunted by seeing Yamaha in the las🍸൩t position in the Constructors’ table.

"I'm just more focused and motivated to do a better job as a rider, to be consistent, to be quick, to extract the🔴 maximum, to push the limits, and that's what we are doing anyway.

“In the Constructors’ 😼championship, we are last, but in the Teams’ championship, we🎃 are 6th [out of 11]. We have some quite [decent] points.

"So it [better Teams' than Constructors' for🌱m] means both riders are doing close to the maximum t♈o bring home some good points for the team in every race.

“But for su♕re, we know that the machine needs to improve.”

MotoGP is considering revising the Concessio🌳n rules to allow struggling manufacturers, such as Hond✱a and Yamaha, more opportunities for bike development.
