MotoGP's Joan Mir, riding for Honda, told reporters at the British GP that Honda must keep developing its current RC213V alongside its push toward the new 850cc rules arriving in 2027. He pointed out the aero package is unchanged from last year and mechanical grip in fast corners remains an issue, saying this year 'is not less important than next year.'

Mir's got a point. Speaking as someone who's felt the throttle in his fingers, a team that dumps all its resources into next year falls apart this year. If the aero's frozen from last season and there's no grip going into corners, you have to fix that now or you won't even have a base to carry into next year. His words at Silverstone carried real paddock weight.

The ranking stuff is way too complex for me but I hope they pull through.

Dropping to Rank D quietly hurts though, means less development time.

Mir's comment feels really genuine, I respect the attitude over the results here.

Ducati and Aprilia already look dialed in for 2027. Honda might be a lap down already.

But giving up on development now would make next year even worse, this seems like the right call.

Same aero as last year? No wonder it's rough.

He said it's a grip issue, sounds more like the chassis than the tires.
