Jack Miller had a nightmare British Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon when he finished 16th on the Silverstone circuit.

The Australian driver struggled to overcome a lack of rear drive grip which impacted on his race day performance.

Miller felt the warm and sunny conditions and his race pace in practice should have been a platform for a points scoring finish.

“In the race I struggled to find rear drive grip and it is not easy to understand why, maybe it was because of the hotter track temperatures compared to practice and qualifying,” he said. “It is a real shame and I'm very disappointed with this race. This should have been a great day to pick up some points and now we just have keep working to recover from this slump at the next race.”

The next race in the MotoGP World Championship is the San Marina GP in Misano in two weeks.
