The “divorce” between Maverick Viñales and Yamaha was one of the biggest problems this summer break after the Japanese manufacturer announced that the partnership between the two would end at the end of the current season if the current contract was valid until the end of the championship in 2022 .
Juan Martínez – DAZN commentator – spoke on the subject and argued that the relationship between the driver and the Japanese manufacturer was no longer healthy. From Martínez’s point of view, the relationship has failed and there is not just one person responsible for what happened.
“I think that the situations are similar to begin with. Two riders with very high potential who should end up with similar results but I think the relationship between Yamaha and Viñales has deteriorated over time. Obviously, all parties have their share of responsibility for ensuring that this marriage is unsuccessful. And on the other hand, you have a new relationship that is [Fabio] Quartararo with Yamaha, because in this case, and as in every relationship at the start, the small details are less important. When you enter into a relationship, that relationship fills the glass and the glass may end up overflowing, as it did in the case of Maverick […]’he said in an interview with AndreaniMHS.
