P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Maverick Vinales believes he would have already become a MotoGP world champion had Yamaha followed his advice during their partnership.
“Vinales made a strong start with Yamaha in 2017, winning the first two races and following up with a victory in Le Mans, but he didn’t win another race that season and finished third in the standings. He believes Yamaha’s development choices cost him a shot at the world championship. Vinales eventually left Yamaha following the 2021 Styrian Grand Prix. Despite missed opportunities in the past, he remains determined to become a MotoGP champion and has joined the Tech3 KTM team for the 2025 season. Vinales sees KTM as his challenge to Ducati’s dominance in the championship race.”
