Quartararo: No New Expectations from Yamaha
In the Grand Prix Germany race, French rider Fabio Quartararo competed with a result that dropped him from podium finish to ninth place in the first lap. Difficulties experienced later in the race and team changes led to his inability to complete the race in that position. Despite the technical difficulties he faced, Quartararo shared his views on his current motorcycle's performance and emphasized that there were no expectations from Yamaha.
The Race’s Difficult Moments and Technical Approach
Quartararo detailed the physical challenges he encountered during the first lap of the race. The rider recounted the dangerous moments he experienced in the corners, stating that these situations are inherent to the nature of racing. He specifically mentioned experiencing near-falling danger on the third corner, followed by contact with Jorge Martin on the fifth corner. However, the rider stressed that he had no complaints regarding these incidents:
"On the first lap, I was almost falling on the third corner. Afterwards, we had contact with Jorge Martin on the fifth corner. But I absolutely have no complaints; this is part of the nature of racing.”
The rider stated that his main goal was to finish ninth, and that this result would be a great achievement. The results were also affected by Alex Marquez's crash, which dropped him to seventh place. Quartararo summarized the difficulty of the race:
"Actually, my goal was to finish ninth. In our situation, this would have been a great result. Afterwards, when Alex and Di Giannantonio crashed, they finished the race in seventh place."
Motorcycle Settings and Future Plans
Fabio Quartararo evaluated his approach to Yamaha through the lens of motorcycle settings. The former champion expressed his expectations regarding the equipment used during the race. When the team requested a different setup for Assen, he stated that he acted according to his own preferences:
"On Sunday, I wanted the motorcycle and the settings I used in the race. However, the team wanted to try something different in Assen.”
On Sunday, the rider indicated that his preferences had changed, stating that they started getting results by returning to his favorite motorcycle. Quartararo emphasized the success of his current equipment by noting that it achieved the best results in races like Le Mans and Barcelona with these settings.
No New Expectations from Yamaha
Although the transition plans to Honda for 2027 have not been finalized, Quartararo announced that Yamaha has now focused its resources entirely on the 850cc [MotoGP] project. Therefore, the rider clarified his expectations regarding his current motorcycle:
"But I know they are now completely focused on the 850cc project. Therefore, naturally, I have no expectations from Yamaha anymore. I do not demand anything new from the team; I am just trying to make the best of what we have right now."
The rider expressed a desire for himself to perform better personally and for the brand to develop. However, given their focus on the 850cc project, he firmly stated that he had no new expectations from Yamaha. Currently, Quartararo recorded that he entered the World Championship in 14th place for the summer season, two places behind his teammate Alex Rins, who is the best rider for Yamaha.
