The next engines are for Silverstone because we have to wait for the rule. Also, if we understand this is the way, then for Silverstone it is possible to make more modify to the engine."

Rossi also declare that the performance on race along the competition are depends on circuit chracteristic. "For me it depends track-by-track if we can go a bit faster, a bit better but for now we have to fix some problem for try to make better position. The problem are quite clear.
