Quartararo battles back from double gearbox glitch
In the morning session, the French rider faced gearbox problems on both his M1s, completing just ten laps and finishing in 19th place. The team decided to halt Franco Morbidelli’s machines as a precaution, but the issue was resolved for the afternoon session. Quartararo made up for lost time with 29 laps and reached as high as second place in Practice 2, despite concerns about the track’s long straights. He finished in eighth place, half a second behind the leader. Quartararo aims to secure a spot on the front three rows in tomorrow’s Sprint race. Meanwhile, Morbidelli regretted not having a tow and will compete in Qualifying 1 against strong opponents.
