Fabio Quartararo acknowledges the challenge of converting pole position into victory at the French Grand Prix and emphasizes the need to be strategic due to tyre durability issues and potential weather changes on Sunday.
Quartararo plans to race with a hard front and medium rear tyre combination to address the soft tyre longevity problem faced during the sprint race.
Despite the Yamaha’s performance gap compared to Ducatis, Quartararo remains positive about his fourth-place finish in the sprint and appreciates his team’s progress since the beginning of the season.
He finds encouragement in his successful qualifying performances, securing his second consecutive pole position and describing his fast lap as one of the best in his career.
Quartararo credits his ability to improve his time in the second run of qualifying to understanding track conditions and his competitors’ grip levels, contributing to his pole position achievement.
