P1racenews AI automatic summary:
After leading final practice and qualifying a reasonable eighth, Fabio Quartararo suffered “the worst five corners of my career” at the start of the Malaysian MotoGP Sprint race.
The Monster Yamaha star, Fabio Quartararo, encountered several difficulties during the race. He failed to disengage the holeshot device, resulting in a wide sweeping line at turn one. This led to contact with Luca Marini at Turn 2 and struggling through Turn 3 with locked front suspension. Marc Marquez then pushed him wide at Turn 5, causing him to drop to 19th place and eventually finishing 16th outside of the points. Quartararo acknowledged his mistakes and stated that it was the worst five corners of his career. However, he believes that if he can avoid such mishaps tomorrow, he has the potential to fight for a top six position in the full-length race, similar to his performance in Thailand. On a separate note, Quartararo was fined 1,000 euros for undoing his helmet strap in pit lane during final practice. His teammate, Franco Morbidelli, finished as the top Yamaha in eleventh place in the Sprint.
