Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has been in the spotlight at the Japanese Grand Prix with good results, including the best lap on the circuit achieved by Brad Binder, and also the second place achieved in the Sprint by the South African driver.

Complementing those good results from the #33, Jack Miller also managed a second-place finish in Q2 and a solid 4th-place finish at Saturday’s Spritn. In a debrief, Miller was pleased with his performance, stating that he tried everything to stop the attack of the world champion, Francesco Bagnaia:

– Yes, qualifying went well, the bike is working well. The Sprint was going well, I was able to make a good start and the bike was working well, but then I saw that I was starting to have some problems at the front and right from a very early on I was pulling, and needing to work on my lines, especially in Turn 5 I was losing some time to the boys. So I had to push harder at the back of the circuit and I started to have a few moments with the front. I knew Pecco was there, I was just trying to make the ride as physical as possible, try not to open up too much and try to block as much as I could. I almost managed to do it all the way, but as I started to get off the inside straight, I started to feel the front sweeping … It was a good race, it was good to be back in the fight with these guys.

The #43 also stated that KTM is likely to suffer a drop in performance earlier than its rivals, while maintaining a stable performance until the end, which allows for better management of the race until the end:

– The tendency of KTM is to have a break a little bit before the other bikes, but then we stabilized and managed to manage a little better than the other bikes, so I feel. I feel like the others didn’t have that break like we did, but it shouldn’t take long, so we’ll see how tomorrow’s long race goes. There are some things we can work on with my riding. With the bike it’s just a little, but quite happy for today.

Finally, after an indirect question about his continuity at KTM and whether this result was important to remind Mattighofen officials of the Australian driver’s capabilities, Miller was clear:

– They don’t need to be reminded. There’s a reason they hired me, there’s a reason I’m here…
