Yamaha insists its 2025 MotoGP season has been focused on a “long-term strategy” rather than “quick fixes” after slipping to last in the MotoGP constructors’ standings
Honda is on the verge of losing D concession status in the 2025 MotoGP season, while Yamaha is lagging behind them in the constructors’ standings. Despite Yamaha’s potential to bridge the 45-point gap, their highest scoring weekends have only yielded 20 points this season. Alongside their current Inline machine, Yamaha has been working on a new V4 prototype for the upcoming Valencia finale. Monster Yamaha director Massimo Meregalli emphasized their long-term strategy for bike development and the sustained effort required for performance enhancement. With Fabio Quartararo’s pressure for a competitive package to extend his contract, Yamaha’s focus remains on progress and validation of key findings as they approach the final two rounds of the season.
