Fabio Quartararo was out of the MotoGP title fight early this year, integrated into a Yamaha that was not very competitive compared to the European manufacturers. He finished the championship in tenth, but his attitude deserves high praise from the team.
The managing director, Massimo Meregalli, told the website GPOne.com: ‘Fabio was always on point. Sometimes he wasn’t very good at managing his emotions, but one of his qualities is that, after exploding, he starts again as always, he is always positive, thinks about what he can improve in the next race. When, as it happens to everyone, he lost the spirit, he immediately recovered in the next race‘.
The manager highlighted Quartararo’s hard work, determination, and understanding of the situation: ‘I can’t say anything about how hard he worked and how he managed his season, it was also difficult for him to digest the fact that he couldn’t start the race to win, but in the end he understood that we had to seize opportunities and keep working. Hats off to Fabio because he never backed down despite a set-up that didn’t allow him to give what he would have wanted‘.
