Yamaha is committed to getting back on track in MotoGP, with a strong investment in an ambitious project to achieve this. Fabio Quartararo is part of these plans, having recently renewed his contract until 2026.
In recent months, there have been clear signs of change at the Iwata manufacturer, with the hiring of new technicians – such as Max Bartolini, who came from Ducati earlier this year. More than just promises, Quartararo sees a new mentality, and has given this vote of confidence to Yamaha.
The Frenchman told Canal+ that Marc Márquez’s case may have served as a kind of wake-up call for the manufacturer, mentioning indications that something is different:
– I believe that Márquez’s departure from Honda to Ducati has awakened many people at Yamaha. They have hired many new engineers and many things are happening in Italy and not in Japan. The speed at which parts can be changed has completely transformed. I think it was very interesting for me to continue with Yamaha.
