Fabio Quartararo, who has managed to be one of the most competitive names on the grid since the day he stepped into his career, won at least one race in every season except his rookie season and achieved the first championship of his career in the 2021 season.
Moreover, he achieved at least one pole position in every season, including his rookie season, and never finished lower than eighth in the championship.
However, the good days for him seem to be behind for now. Yamaha has become a team that cannot overcome its power problems and is in decline.
So much so that Quartararo, who was the championship leader after the first 12 races last year, is now in 11th place in the championship with only two podiums.
Quartararo, who changed his driving style after the summer break due to these problems, is still not satisfied with the results he achieved.
Quartararo, who still says that his new driving style makes him happy, thinks that he is motivated again after a nightmare first half.
Speaking about the course of the season, Quartararo said, "Compared to competing with the best, the position I am in is not easy at all." said.
To be honest, I wasn't motivated at all in the first part of the season. I fought for the championship three years in a row and now I can only fight for points. So my motivation was gone.”
But now I agree to compete in these positions to regain my motivation, at least give the best feedback possible and try to get some enjoyment out of racing.”
“In the coming races we will have some minor updates, just like in Barcelona and Misano, but it is not certain.”
The Misano test to be held this weekend is very important for Quartararo. The team will take the 2024 motorcycle to the track for the first time.
Quartararo, whose current contract expires after the 2024 season, can decide early whether he will stay in the team or not.”
