In a way, you would say, “Thank God it ended here. Fabio Quartararo closes 2020 with a thirteenth place, which does not need many words. If it were up to him, he’d prefer to get on the first plane tonight and go home as his season ended in a way he’d never imagined, especially given how it started.
But Fabio tried to explain what had happened.
“It was hard to do better,” he began. “After a few laps, I started to suffer with the Yamaha. I had no grip and kept fighting. I feel very bad hoping for another weekend. Maybe I could have fought for a position between fifth and eighth, but things turned out differently. “
There is no point in rubbing it.
“When you end the races like this, it’s difficult to look forward to the season that is coming to an end. It was definitely important to have brought home three wins. but I’m still sad for my 2020 especially because of what was the beginning.”
At this point, even if it is not easy to solve Yamaha’s problems, they need to look ahead.
“There is definitely a solution to our problems. Last season’s bike was competitive so we have to try to improve the M1, especially in terms of rear grip. They are very motivated at Yamaha because things didn’t go as they should have been in the last race, so there is a desire to do well. I know they are working and I am convinced that we will find a way to start over and solve our problems. “
Next year Fabio will be the official driver and consequently his opinions will become more important.
“I don’t have a lot of experience in MotoGP, But I definitely have some ideas for Yamaha on how to improve the bike and make it competitive. I will speak to them to understand what to do as we both believe in this project. “
