Continuity is key , and Yamaha maintains this with their lineup for 2025 , as both 2021 World Champion Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins remain with the Iwata manufacturer . Despite struggling throughout 2024 without a podium , changes are on the horizon at Yamaha . A switch from the inline-four engine to a V4 is widely anticipated and could be seen on track in 2025 . At the Barcelona test , Yamaha introduced new engine , chassis , and aero specifications , with Quartararo and Rins responding positively to the updates .
Yamaha ’ s storied history in the sport includes 245 wins and over 500 podium finishes , though their last win was in
Germany three years ago . While it ’ s a far cry from their past successes , including as recently as 2022 , the Japanese manufacturer is confronting their challenges head-on . This includes changes behind the scenes : Lin Jarvis has vacated his long-time role , replaced by Paolo Pavesio . After two seasons without an independent team , Yamaha is expanding its presence , welcoming Prima Pramac Racing to its setup for the coming year , led by experienced riders Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira . Furthermore , Augusto Fernandez serves as Yamaha ’ s official test rider , underscoring their commitment to leveraging all assets to return to the forefront of competition .
YAMAHA , DESPITE RECENT STRUGGLES , IS POISED FOR A COMEBACK WITH ANTICIPATED ENGINE UPGRADES AND A STRENGTHENED LINEUP INCLUDING 2021 WORLD CHAMPION FABIO QUARTARARO .
