Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP Returns to Action at Silverstone After the Summer Break
Following the summer break, Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP resumes its 2026 campaign at Silverstone, a circuit that provided one of the team's strongest performances last season and offers another opportunity to assess the progress of the Yamaha project.

Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP returns to action this weekend at Silverstone as the MotoGP World Championship resumes after the three-week summer break. The British Grand Prix marks the beginning of the second half of the season, with the team eager to continue the development of the Yamaha YZR-M1 and build on the progress achieved during the opening rounds of the championship.

Silverstone holds positive memories for the team, having hosted one of its strongest weekends in 2025. Jack Miller finished seventh in last year's Grand Prix, the team's best race result of the season at that stage, while the circuit's fast, flowing layout has traditionally suited the characteristics of the Yamaha. With the project now significantly more mature than it was twelve months ago, the British Grand Prix provides another valuable opportunity to measure the progress made over the past year.

For Miller, the weekend offers the chance to return to a circuit where he has consistently been competitive, while Toprak Razgatlıoğlu continues his MotoGP learning journey at a track whose high-speed nature rewards confidence and rhythm. As the championship enters its second half, Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP remains focused on gathering valuable data and continuing the steady development of the project.

To accommodate the time difference with the United Kingdom, the weekend schedule has been revised. Friday's practice sessions will take place at 11:45 and 16:00, Saturday's Practice 2 and Sprint are scheduled for 11:50 and 16:00, while Sunday's Warm Up will begin at 09:40, with the British Grand Prix getting underway at 13:00.

We're back in action after the summer break with our batteries recharged and ready for the second half of the season. Silverstone is a fantastic circuit and one where we enjoyed a very positive weekend last year, so we're pleased to be returning.

On paper, the layout should suit the characteristics of the Yamaha, but this year's bike is completely different, so it's difficult to predict exactly what to expect. A lot of work has gone into the project over the summer break and, although the next major upgrades won't arrive for another couple of Grands Prix, we're confident we're moving in the right direction.

Our objective is to continue improving race after race and finish the season stronger than we started it. We'll keep working with the same determination as always, making the most of every opportunity to move the project forward.

I'm looking forward to getting back on track after the summer break and starting the second half of the season. Hopefully, we've been able to make a bit more progress during the three-week break, and it'll be good to see how that translates once we're back racing.

Silverstone is a circuit I always enjoy, and it's always special to race in front of the British fans. I'm excited to get the weekend underway and see what we can achieve.

I'm really happy to be back at Silverstone. It's a circuit I really enjoy, even though the last time I raced here was twelve years ago in the Rookies Cup. It will be completely different on a MotoGP bike, especially with the long straights, so we'll have to see what to expect.

As always, the goal is to do our best and keep learning. Every weekend I'm gaining more experience with the bike, and I'm looking forward to getting back on track and starting the second half of the season at such a great circuit.
