Yamaha, Fabio Quartararo is disconsolate: ‘Nothing works’

After Japanese Saturday, the stock market è disconsolate.

Fabio Quartararo files another very complicated day for his Yamaha, which after missing out on direct access to Q2 in the Japanese Grand Prix had to settle for 15th place in the Motegi Sprint Race. And the Frenchman admitted in no uncertain terms that practically nothing works on the M1.

"Unfortunately, I couldn’t do better than this,"” said Quartararo at the end of the day. “Our level è this, the Yamaha has no power, no directionality, no grip. Nothing. Even just to hit Q2 è you need to go over the limit, and in this way you lose a lot of time. I then missed the apex at the first corner, losing some positions. Once I was overtaken by other drivers, I couldn’t do more.

Thereò that moreù torments Quartararo è forò the feeling that the situation in Yamaha does not seem to present any improvement even in perspective. "We lack a turning point, we have no power né support. Nothing. To hit Q2 we can only delay braking beyond the limit, but in this way è easy to make so many mistakes. The bike è the same as three years ago and, looking ahead to tomorrow, we have no plan for improvement. So many things are missing that focusing on just one problem è useless", complained the Niçois.
