Suzuki’s Maverick Vinales was left disappointed with his own qualifying performance at the Sachsenring after qualifying sixth for the German Grand Prix.
Vinales look strong throughout practice in Germany, setting the pace in FP2 and was s third fastest behind Marquez and Iannone in FP3.
The 21-year-old will start from sixth and after the strong pace shown in practice, the Spaniard is disappointed.
“I’m not really satisfied, honestly, as I was expecting much more. It’s still one problem we have to find a solution for: Very fast on Friday, then slower on Saturday; and finally struggling in Sunday’s race,” said Vinales.
“Here, the weather conditions changed a lot also, yesterday was colder and rainy, while today there was sunshine. When temperatures get higher we always struggle, the traction is our main issue and also here we suffer.”
The Yamaha-bound rider believes cooler conditions in Sunday’s race will benefit Suzuki rather than the much warmer conditions which Saturday’s qualifying took place in.
“We did many tests, the improvements are solid, but we still need more competitiveness. We are working on the info we collected, we just need to stay calm and focused and try to finalise a good machine for the warm-up. Hopefully tomorrow is going to be a little colder and this could help us.”
