The 2020 season certainly turned out to be strange for Fabio Quartararo. The French driver had started out as that possible main competitor of Marquez After injuring the eight-time world champion and two victories at the first GPs in Jerez, he became the number 1 candidate to win the world title. Unfortunately for him and for Yamaha, however The technical problems on the M1 and the excessive pressure on the Frenchman’s shoulders meant that the world championship went to Hamamatsu with Suzuki and Joan Mir Champions at the end of the year.
“I want to work on the emotional part … just to have less emotion,” Quartararo said in an interview with Autosport.com. “In my opinion it will be really important for next year also to give better comments to my crew chief and engineers because when you have high emotions just say the bike is not working and you don’t know exactly which part. “
We are therefore talking again about the emotional aspect that Fabio had already expressed at the end of the season when he informed us over the weekend in Portimao that he would be working with a psychologist in winter. In 2021 the Frenchman will be in the official Yamaha team where the responsibilities and consequently the pressures will be higher.
“I’ve been going a couple of times, but I’ll go more often because I think small differences can make big changes. On the emotion side, I haveI am already starting to work to be calmer and with fewer emotions than possible. So I’ll go with the psychologist again and work on this part because touching small details with the team is so important to me. “
