Statements by Maverick Vinales MotoGP Portuguese GP Portimao Qualifying

“Everything is changing very quickly, even during free practice. We don't really know what the right tire choices are. We can't improve over the weekend. I was fast yesterday but in every session we get worse. I don't know why this happens, you have to ask Yamaha. I don't want to be repetitive. When the bike goes I push. My expectations are very low, before I only thought about winning but now I know it's impossible. I try to be positive and calm, but it's not going well. For next year everything should remain the same when it comes to technicians. Every year we lose someone, so I don't know what's going to happen.”
