The 25-year-old Vinales says it's "impossible" to close down Mir with the Yamaha rider having won just one race this season.
"It's impossible with the bike we have right now," Vinales said on AutoSport.
"Suzuki right now are in another level so we cannot do nothing. We just need to pray to have a perfect bike in Valencia, perfect start, be first and to see if we don't lose the position.
"I will try to be fresh, try to give good feedback to the guys in the box so they can provide us with the best bike."
Suzuki are now placed at the top of Manufacturers' Championship standings with 188 points.
Ducati and Yamaha are placed second and third with 181 and 163 points respectively on the standings.
