PETRONAS Sepang Racing Team Launch 2021 Campaign YAMAHA PETRONAS Sepang Racing Team launch 2021 Campaign March 2, 2021 – Franco Morbidelli and Valentino Rossi unveil the PETRONAS Yamaha SRT 2021 Yamaha YZR-M1. PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team is excited to start its third season in the MotoGP World Championship campaign with riders Franco Morbidelli and Valentino Rossi showcasing their 2021 Yamaha YZR-M1 through a virtual launch today. Franco and Valentino were introduced by Team Principal, Razlan Razali, with further insight imparted by Team Director, Johan Stigefelt and Team Manager, Wilco Zeelenberg. Team owner, Sepang International Circuit and title Partner PETRONAS were also represented in the online launch. After a stellar second season in 2020, where the team and rider Franco Morbidelli finished the year as vice champions in their respective championships, PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team is eager to continue its extraordinary story of success as the first-ever Malaysian team in MotoGP. In 2019 the team became Top Independent Team, finishing fourth in the overall team standings, with rider Fabio Quartararo taking the Rookie of the Year title and Top Independent Rider. Over the course of last year the team was on the top step of the podium six times as well as leading the standings for most of the year before finishing the season as the Top Independent Team – and second in the overall standings – with Franco Vice Champion as well as Top Independent Rider. 2021 sees Franco joined by Greatest Of All Time rider Valentino Rossi who will add an extra dimension of championship winning knowledge and potential to the squad. Featuring an updated look with the latest PETRONAS branding, the team’s Yamaha YZR-M1 will be in Factory-spec for Valentino and A- spec Plus for Franco. 2021 also marks the third year of PETRONAS as the team’s title partner. The impressive results achieved by the team over the past two seasons are a testament to the Malaysian energy company’s Fluid Technology Solutions that powered PYSRT to its six MotoGP wins in 2020. YAMAHA MOTOR CO., LTD. Motor Sports Strategy Division Headquarters: 2500 Shingai, Iwata-city, Shizuoka 438-8501, Japan TEL: +81-538-37-4025 FAX: +81-538-32-3186 https://global.yamaha-motor.com/race/ Razlan Razali, Team Principal “We are proud to represent Malaysia and PETRONAS on the world stage in MotoGP for a third season as PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team. We are looking forward to the season ahead, eager to give Franco and Valentino the best opportunity. For Franco, it’s a fabulous opportunity to achieve even better things than his stellar season in 2020 and for Valentino we’re hoping a new team will give him the best opportunities to harness his talent and expertise. The team has enjoyed an incredible trajectory since entering the sport and we are thankful to PETRONAS and Yamaha for enabling this through their strong support and shared philosophy and aspirations.” 2020 was an incredible year for us, but we are mindful that there are always areas where we can improve. We expect another tough fight on track over the season ahead and we will be pushing at every step to support Franco and Valentino and ensure they have all the tools at their disposal. Johan Stigefelt, Team Director “We look forward to the season ahead with pride in what we have achieved in previous years, but with the awareness that our opposition never sits still, so we must not either. We have achieved great results in MotoGP in our first two seasons but we certainly were not perfect. Over the off- season we have targeted improvements across the board. Looking at our riders across the categories, the potential is huge as we are strong in every class. Our targets are higher than before, but so is our potential. Our dream is to get a win in every category on the same weekend; it’s a lot to ask, but it’s not impossible!” Tan Sri Azman, Chairman of Sepang International Circuit “We look back over the team’s short history and see there has been great success. We have showcased mechanics, management, partners and riders from Malaysia on the world stage. We are proud that this is a Malaysian team with strong and solid Malaysian management. We not only develop and focus on talent on track but talent in all elements of a big team like PETRONAS Sepang Racing Team. We look ahead to the 2021 season full of pride and we have high hopes and expectations. There is strength and depth in our team and everyone from Sepang International Circuit wishes the team well for another exciting but yet challenging season where our dream is to do the impossible by winning the world championship.” Datin Anita Azrina, Senior General Manager of Group Strategic Communications, PETRONAS “Our title and technical partnership with SRT has significantly enhanced our R&D capabilities in the area of fluid technology solutions. We are proud to say our fluid formulations have been instrumental towards PSRT’s success in the world championship. We have seen PSRT clinch the 2019 and 2020 MotoGP Best Independent Team award, while Franco became the 2020 MotoGP Vice Champion. For a relatively new team in the sport, this achievement is nothing short of extraordinary, and we at PETRONAS are proud to be a part of this journey. Looking ahead, the expectations are riding high for the 2021 MotoGP season, but it gives me comfort to see the team approach the new season with the same vigour and passion. Similarly, at PETRONAS, we will continue to support the team through our Fluid Technology Solutions, and we can continue to push boundaries together.” Franco Morbidelli “This will be my third year with the team and there are many things I like about PETRONAS Yamaha SRT. The 2021 YZR-M1 livery is similar to the last two years, but still changed; It’s the same but different so I like it. What is different from last years is my teammate; I expect and hope it will be a great season for Vale [Valentino Rossi] and me. We have had a strong relationship for many years and we will learn a lot from each other. My personal target for 2021 is to get better; improve myself as a person, rider and athlete. I know it’s hard and difficult because last year we were quite fast and we made great races and achieved great results. Nevertheless, we will have to try to improve compared with 2020, so that’s my aim, try to be better year after year.” Valentino Rossi “I’m very proud to be part of PETRONAS Yamaha Sepang Racing Team. It’s a new challenge for me. This is a very young team, but in the last two years they have already been really competitive. I’m happy to see my new bike for this year and I really like the colours of the livery, leathers, helmet, etc. It looks awesome. My targets for 2021 is to be competitive, fight to win races, fight to achieve podiums and also fight for a good position in the World Championship standings at the end of the season. We are all very focused on our targets to make the best we can. I think that with Franco we are a very interesting couple of riders as we know each other really well. All the whole team has a lot of motivation and I will give my maximum to achieve together the best possible result at the end of the calendar. We are ready to start.” .

  • Press Information
    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN AND VIÑALES ARE VICTORIOUS IN VICTORIA Michelin saw its named MotoGP™ race in the Australian state of Victoria produce an exciting contest today as Maverick Viñales (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) took victory in the Michelin® Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island. The whole weekend at the 4,448m circuit had been shaped by strong, gusting winds and cold track temperatures, which caused all the riders and manufacturers difficulties in set-up and choosing the best compound of MICHELIN Power Slick tyres for today’s race. As the start drew close, four of the six available compounds were chosen, with just the hard front and medium rear not making the grid. Pole-setter and World Champion Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) went with a medium front and rear hard slick, but it was Danilo Petrucci (Alma Pramac Racing) - soft front and hard rear - that got the holeshot and led into the first corner. After the first lap, local hero Jack Miller (Alma Pramac Racing) led the field over the line, before the race lead then changed hands several times over the ensuing laps. Unfortunately, a collision between Marquez and Johann Zarco (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) saw the champion retire and the Frenchman crash out, but that didn’t stop the excitement as the riders pushed their tyres to the limit on the cold surface, with their MICHELIN Power Slicks giving them the confidence to drive their machines through Phillip Island’s fast corners. Viñales took the lead on lap-eight and he controlled the attack on his Yamaha - shod with a soft front compound tyre and hard rear - to perfection as he never came under threat from the chasing pack.

  • Sostenibilità Ambientale E Sociale «In Pole Position» Al Mugello
    comunicato stampa Sostenibilità ambientale e sociale «in pole position» al Mugello 7a edizione consecutiva per KiSS Mugello, il programma per la sostenibilità del Gran Premio d’Italia Oakley. Obiettivo: sensibilizzare il pubblico e gli operatori sull'importanza di adottare comportamenti sostenibili, durante l’evento e a casa. Scarperia e San Piero (FI), 28 maggio 2019 – Com'è ormai tradizione dal 2013, ci sarà anche la sostenibilità in “pole position” al Gran Premio d’Italia Oakley, sesta prova del Campionato Mondiale MotoGP in programma all'Autodromo del Mugello il prossimo weekend 31 maggio 1-2 giugno. Torna infatti per il 7° anno consecutivo KISS Mugello - Keep It Shiny and Sustainable - il programma di sostenibilità ambientale e sociale del Gran Premio. Obiettivo del programma è sensibilizzare il grande pubblico degli appassionati e gli operatori sull’importanza di adottare comportamenti sostenibili nei grandi eventi sportivi, mostrando una serie di buone pratiche in ambito ambientale e sociale e invitando ad adottarle anche nella vita quotidiana. LE INIZIATIVE DI IMPATTO AMBIENTALE: Anche quest'anno KiSS Mugello mette al centro la raccolta differenziata dei rifiuti per la riduzione dell'impatto ambientale dell'evento. Il programma mira a offrire informazioni, strumenti e condizioni per permettere di effettuare al meglio la raccolta differenziata dei rifiuti ed evitare l’abbandono degli stessi. Al fine di combattere il fenomeno del “littering”, dato che al Mugello in larga parte gli spettatori campeggiano sui prati intorno al circuito, per tutto il week-end verranno distribuiti dei kit per la raccolta differenziata (assemblati da una cooperativa sociale, composti da un sacchetto biodegradabile e compostabile con all’interno dei sacchetti colorati in plastica riciclata e una guida informativa).
