As negotiations near a conclusion on MotoGP’s revised concessions package for 2024, Fabio Quartararo has emphasised that Yamaha must not let what might be a limited opportunity slip away.
The five factories in MotoGP, including Yamaha and Honda, are not eligible for the present concession system due to their past success. This means they will have fewer privileges such as engine changes, private testing, and development opportunities. However, with limited testing and the new Sprint weekend format, there are concerns that these manufacturers will struggle to improve their performance. Yamaha, in particular, faces a challenge as they don’t have the advantage of data from a satellite team. To address these issues, there are discussions about revising the concession system and potentially changing the allocation of test tyres based on different criteria. Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo believes it is crucial for Yamaha to have a satellite team, and although it won’t happen next season, Yamaha is targeting 2025 for its establishment. Despite facing challenges, Quartararo emphasizes the importance of making the most of the concessions that may be available next year to have a successful season.
