Paolo Pavesio says it “makes no sense” to talk about Fabio Quartararo’s MotoGP future beyond 2026.
Yamaha Motor Racing boss Paolo Pavesio believes it is premature to discuss Fabio Quartararo’s future beyond the 2026 MotoGP season. Following a challenging Austrian Grand Prix where Yamaha’s performance was subpar, Quartararo expressed feeling bewildered, as he has not secured a victory since 2022. Pavesio acknowledged the race’s difficulty but emphasized the importance of learning from such setbacks and continuously improving. Despite the recent struggles, Pavesio stated that the team’s objective is to persuade Quartararo through a more competitive racing package. However, he asserted that considering Quartararo’s future at this stage, only 13 races into the current contract, is not practical. Yamaha remains focused on enhancing their performance and transitioning their V4 project into a competitive racing endeavor in the near future.
