Jack Miller<\/a> and Miguel Oliveira<\/a> are being asked to wait longer before a final call is made on which of them will keep his Pramac Yamaha ride next season.<\/p>\n

With Toprak Razgatlioglu having been confirmed in June as one of the satellite team\u2019s 2026 riders, it has been clear for some time that at least one of Miller or Oliveira will have to find an alternative ride for next season.<\/p>\n

Miller said shortly after the announcement that he was \u201cnot stressed\u201d about what some have billed as a shoot-out between himself and his Portuguese team-mate. But almost two months later, ahead of this weekend\u2019s Austrian Grand Prix, he admitted that he hoped for a call to be made soon.<\/p>\n

The Australian said the expected date for a decision had been pushed back more than once:\u00a0\u201cFirst it was before the summer break, then it was after the summer break, and it\u2019s slowly getting delayed a little more, so…<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are we delaying it, I don\u2019t know. But hopefully something comes out soon.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I\u2019ve been] trying to make conversations, trying to make contact, trying to understand what my situation is at the moment. Still nothing on the table\u2026 just waiting. [I\u2019ll play] the waiting game; hang around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarded as the more likely of the two to retain his ride, Miller reaffirmed his enthusiasm for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be here, I want to be with Yamaha. I love this project, I love working with Yamaha and I enjoy the whole environment. I love my crew chief. I\u2019m very, very happy where I am. I feel like I can go further, improve and do more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re very happy with me, and I\u2019ve made the call plenty of times to ask if there\u2019s anything more I can do, or differently, or whatever. I will be trying to do what I can. Like I said, it\u2019s just a waiting game and I\u2019m trying to be\u2026 I\u2019m being as patient as possible in the circumstances, for sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, other opportunities are starting to close up,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Oliveira, meanwhile, said he hadn\u2019t actively been pursuing updates during the summer break and would continue to focus on his own riding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t talk,\u201d said the man who won the 2020 Styrian GP at the same Spielberg circuit hosting this weekend\u2019s action. \u201cHopefully we\u2019ll know soon. When we know something, you [the press] will also know.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe target seems to be [waiting] another two races for them to come up with a decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy main target is to continue doing the best I can for me, firstly, and then try to bring some good results in these couple of races. And put myself in the best possible position to be competitive.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy actual focus is not so much, as you might think, on staying or not staying [with the team]. I\u2019m focusing on my weakest point with the bike, which is the braking phase. I was progressing quite well, but I hit a wall in Sachsenring and Brno.<\/p>\n

\u201cBraking is the area where I lose time and I want to get that fixed. Performance and results will come as a consequence of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
