A return to the points was a good sign for Jack Miller and Prima Pramac Racing Yamaha at the British Grand Prix.
The British Grand Prix was a 'pretty positive' weekend for Yamaha, according to Prima Pramac rider, Jack Miller.
Even though it was a weekend where so much more was possible for the Japanese manufacturer, they proved that they can fight at the front.
Monster Energy Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo was set to win the British Grand Prix before suffering a mechanical issue, which forced him to retire from the race.
Miller was then promoted to the top Yamaha rider, after fighting for the podium positions, he 'lost momentum' in the latter laps and dropped back to seventh.
This result ended Miller's run of three DNFs at the Qatar, Spanish and French Grand Prix.
"The first start was good, I got away clean and the bike was working well," Miller said.
"I was in a strong position, but then the red flag came out and we had to do it all over again. Fortunately, I also got a good jump on the second start and immediately found a solid rhythm.
"I could see the Ducati guys were struggling a bit with the medium front compared to my soft, so I passed them and tried to follow Fabio, matching his pace. But I quickly realised that maintaining that rhythm for the whole race wouldn‘t be sustainable, especially in corners like Turn 5, where you really push on the edge, so I focused on managing my pace.
"Towards the end, I felt comfortable behind Marc. With four laps to go, I noticed his pace was dropping a bit, and I started thinking about making a move. But just as I was planning it, Morbidelli came through, and we started battling. Then Alex arrived too, and that cost me the momentum.
"Overall, I‘m happy. The bike has been working well for a few races now, and it was a pretty positive weekend for Yamaha. Of course, I‘m devastated for Fabio, he was flying out there and absolutely deserved to win this race."
