Marini, who already began preparations for the upcoming season last week with the Shakedown🍷 test, was pleased to have the added track time, but joked that it wasn’t a big help.
“A big no [laughs],” began Marini. “If it was big it woul𒁏d have been second [position] like [Pedro] Acosta.
“It is something that we need in this moment for sure. We have man🐈y things to try and to find the right direction is not easy. But we are working really hard.
“I’m really satisfied about these first [few] days. The feelingജ with♈ the bike every time is much better.
“I’m enjoying every moment. We found soﷺmething better during these 💜days but still there is a lot to do.”
What was pleasing for the Italian is the development of the new engine, compared to the 2023-spꦡec RC213V 💫he tested at Valencia last year.
But that said, there are still problems to iron out with the engine as he claim🐭ed it was less forgiving.
Marini 𒁏said: “It is faster. But it is less forgiving, not a🔯s much control but it is more in your hand. There is a little bit more power so we are struggling with grip because the torque is more.
“We need to be more careful with the throttle because the power is there. You can ride faster because the engine is stronger༒.”
Honda fi🔜nished last season with a🦂rguably the worst bike on the grid, so changes were a necessity for 2024.
Marini, who will continue to test parts oꩲver the second and third day, said: “We have so many new things that we need to put eve✃rything in line.
“We need to work on all aspects of tꦫhe bike. We improved a little bit aerodynamics, a little bit the engine, we improved a little bit the electronics, but we need to keep working like this because we are only at 60% of the bike in my opinion.”
