Quartararo details talks with top Yamaha boss: “Important to take more risk”
Since the end of 2021, Yamaha’s performance in MotoGP has declined, and they now have one of the weakest bikes on the grid, alongside Honda. Quartararo has become increasingly frustrated and has urged Yamaha to change their approach. Despite not winning a race since last season’s Sachsenring and only securing two podium finishes in 2023, Quartararo had a positive meeting with Yamaha’s top management, but he emphasizes the need for action rather than just words. He believes that Yamaha should take more risks in order to have a better season in 2024. Quartararo’s focus is on how he feels on the bike and the need for tangible improvements to be faster. He doesn’t have high hopes for a repeat performance in the upcoming Motegi race and acknowledges the difficulty of the weekend ahead, but his main goal is to be in the top 10 on Friday afternoon to secure a spot in Q2.
