PROJECT LEAKED 🔴 You Won’t Believe What Yamaha Just Revealed About the V4 MotoGP Engine Switch! Fabio Quartararo set a record that scared Ducati
💥 Yamaha has officially confirmed its bold transition to a V4 engine for the 2026 MotoGP season, marking a seismic shift in its engineering philosophy. After years of struggling with the limitations of its inline-four M1, the factory team revealed that the V4 prototype—developed with input from test riders Andrea Dovizioso, Cal Crutchlow, and Augusto Fernandez—is nearing race-ready status. The announcement comes after Fabio Quartararo’s blistering pole lap at Jerez, which set a new circuit record and reignited Yamaha’s hopes of reclaiming dominance.
⚙️ Quartararo’s performance has sent shockwaves through Ducati’s camp, especially after he denied Marc Márquez a fifth consecutive pole position by just 0.033 seconds. Despite crashing out in the Sprint, Quartararo’s qualifying pace demonstrated the potential of Yamaha’s latest upgrades. He later emphasized that the M1’s braking limitations—particularly its inability to use rear braking effectively—are directly tied to its engine configuration. “We brake only with the front. That’s why I get overtaken,” he explained, reinforcing his push for the V4 switch.
🚨 Yamaha’s V4 project is now being fast-tracked, with plans to debut the engine in a wildcard entry before the end of 2025. Managing Director Paolo Pavesio confirmed that if the V4 outperforms the current M1, it will become the factory’s main weapon for the final year of the 1000cc era. Quartararo, who has long begged Yamaha to make a decisive move, said, “I just want a fast bike and to fight with these guys.” His record-setting lap and vocal support have made him the face of Yamaha’s technical revolution.
🏁 As rival teams brace for Yamaha’s comeback, the MotoGP paddock is buzzing with speculation. Can the V4 finally close the gap to Ducati’s Desmosedici? Will Quartararo’s momentum carry into Le Mans and beyond? One thing is certain: Yamaha’s leaked project is no longer a secret—and with Quartararo leading the charge, the fight for supremacy just got personal.
