Yamaha is facing a decisive period at various levels in MotoGP. With the maximum concessions available under the new system, it must make clear progress to return to the fight for victories and not risk losing Fabio Quartararo – who is in his last year of contract.
The 2021 champion naturally wants to see improvements and work, emphasizing to the site SPEEDWEEK.com that he doesn’t just want promises to renew: ‘I believe that if they do half of what I ask, I would be very happy. It would be a big step in the process of returning to the top. Of course, when I see that Yamaha is really making an effort, improving, and getting closer to victory, then I want to be part of that. But they have to show me a lot, not just me renewing‘.
That being said, Quartararo emphasized his confidence in the project: ‘I don’t want them to just show things for me to sign. I want them to work very hard. Yamaha is a great brand and if other factories can do it, Yamaha can too. I firmly believe that we can return to the top‘.
