Fabio Quartararo sends a warning to Yamaha
One of the negative surprises of the 2023 season è was undoubtedly Yamaha, which has never è been able to be competitive for victory and the upgrades brought have not brought the hoped-for improvements. During an interview with the microphones of "Motorsport", French centaur Fabio Quartararo è expressed himself in no uncertain terms ahead of 2024.
"Since the first race I realized I could not compete for the title. Even last year I didn't expect to fight, but as a driver the expectations are very high and you should never give up. The first part of the season è was very complicated because I never expected to be so far from the podium. Sometimes I was riding well, but the potential of the M1 was not enough. The second half è è went better, but overall è it was a very hard year for me" began the French centaur.
"I never accepted being in that position and pushed the Yamaha to the limit. The way I was doing it was not the right way, but I want to be at the top and do my best. Getting into Q2 on Friday è è is the main goal of every single weekend, but è it is hard to accept the difficulties. When you savor the fight for victory every single weekend and now you end up in such a low position, the only thing you want è to return to success" continued Yamaha number 20.
"As a rider, Yamaha gave me the opportunity to be in MotoGp. I gave them a title. The relationship è good and I would like to come back and win with them. I see that Yamaha is pushing hard to improve. Being in this position, I cannot expect to win every week, but I expect progress in a short time and to fight more often for the podium. Of course, if he feels he doesn't have a winning project, è of course he will have to consider farewell" added the 2021 World Champion.
In conclusion Fabio Quartararo è expressed himself about his new teammate Alex Rins: "He will be; the only rider who has ridden three different bikes in three years. Suzuki, Honda and then Yamaha. His feedback will be very important for all of us".
