Although he sees potential in Yamaha for the British GP, Miguel Oliveira stated that his current focus remains on adapting to the bike and regaining competitive pace.
Faced with Yamaha’s historically strong results at Silverstone and the recent form of riders like Fabio Quartararo, the Portuguese rider was cautious but open:
‘Maybe. I’m open-minded, so we’ll see. For me, the search for performance will come with time. Right now, I really need to get feedback from the bike, get used to everything, and extract the maximum from what I have. It will take a while.’
Despite the growing expectations, Oliveira reaffirmed his commitment to gradual progress and learning with each race weekend.
The belief is there, but the Portuguese rider refuses to rush the process. For now, the key is to grow steadily and regain confidence.
