P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Quartararo was 'too arrogant' in early 2023 Yamaha MotoGP struggles
The 2021 world champion, Fabio Quartararo, has only achieved two podium finishes this season, while Yamaha is currently tied for last place with Honda in the standings. Quartararo has expressed his frustrations and made it clear to Yamaha that he wants to see actions taken to solve the issues with the bike, not just empty words. Quartararo’s situation has been compared to Marc Marquez’s at Honda, but Quartararo has started to accept his circumstances and is focused on performing well each weekend. Despite a disappointing test with Yamaha’s 2024 engine, Quartararo remains polite and aims to improve the overall performance of the team. Quartararo has struggled to overtake other riders due to Yamaha’s lack of power, a problem he highlighted at the end of his championship-winning season in 2021. Currently sitting 11th in the standings, he is determined to bounce back and close the 189-point gap to championship leader Francesco Bagnaia at the upcoming Indian GP.
