The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team have travelled to the United Kingdom for Round 7 of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship. The crew and riders are keen to rise to the occasion one week after a short but successful private test in Misano.

After a short break following a private test in Misano, the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team is looking forward to being back on track during this weekend's Grand Prix of the United Kingdom.

Fabio Quartararo is all set to step aboard his YZR-M1 once more. After having secured his second-consecutive pole and All Time Lap Record last time out, he is keen to see what he can deliver in Britain. He is currently 7th and on the hunt for championship points to climb up the rankings. The Frenchman really enjoys riding the Silverstone Circuit, as testified by his 2021 premier-class victory there.

Having walked away from the mixed Le Mans race weekend with solid points, Álex Rins arrives in the UK holding 16th place in the championship standings. He is fancying his chances of scoring good results again this weekend. The Spaniard knows the Silverstone circuit well, which is evident from his résumé. He secured second place in Moto3 in 2013 and a win in the same class in 2014. He followed it up with a second place in 2015 in Moto2, a victory in the premier class in 2019, and a second place in MotoGP in 2021.

In 2023, MotoGP moved back to the international paddock at the Silverstone track. The races are run in clockwise direction, and in the current layout Abby is Turn 1, and Club is the last. Counting 18 corners and with a total length of 5.9km, Silverstone is the longest track on the MotoGP calendar. It first featured from 1977-1986 and was added back again in 2010, but the track has a racing history of over 75 years. Thanks to innovations and investments, the circuit became one of the fastest tracks on the calendar and has earned high praise from the riders.

The schedule for the British GP differs from the usual Central European Grand Prix timetable. FP1 will take place on Friday from 11:45-12:30 and the Practice from 16:00-17:00 local track time (GMT+1). On Saturday FP2 will be held from 11:10-11:40, followed by Q1 and Q2 from 11:50-12:30. The 10-lap Sprint in the afternoon starts at 16:00. On Sunday, Warm Up will be staged from 09:40-09:50, and the 20-lap Race is scheduled to start at 13:00 local track time.

Quartararo has been penalised with a 10-minute suspension at the start of the British GP FP1 session for 'irresponsible behaviour' during the French GP Race. He will be able to take part in the remainder of the FP1 session and British GP race weekend as normal after sitting out his penalty.
