Fabio Quartararo enters a contract year after his worst-ever MotoGP campaign. The 2021 champion believes in the Yamaha team – but demands faster and better development in 2024.
It was a difficult season for Fabio Quartararo, the 2021 MotoGP world champion, as he didn’t achieve a single win and finished in 10th place overall. He faced deep-rooted problems with his Yamaha M1 machine and struggled mentally throughout the season. However, Quartararo believes the second half of the season was better, with his expectations lowered and achieving top-five finishes.
