Fabio Quartararo finished outside the points once again in the Barcelona Sprint, with the Frenchman expressing his frustration at a bike that he feels did not allow him to express his full potential.
fabio quartararo finished in tenth position in the Sprint Race of the Barcelona Grand Prix, and although he showed good pace, he had to settle for this classification due to some technical limitations that hampered his performance. The driver Yamaha acknowledged that while he had the potential to place higher, factors such as speed and grip compromised his chances of placing higher.
« We had the pace to be faster, but we were clearly blocked" , analyzed Quarterly after the race.
Fabio Quartararo: “ we could not fight with our rivals, even if we were close »
He adds : " I think our potential was quite good, but we lacked some areas, so we couldn't fight with our rivals, even though we were close. » The Frenchman stressed that his overtaking on Marco Bezzecchi was not a conventional overtaking: " the overtaking I did on Bezzecchi, for example, was not a typical overtaking. I took a lot of risks, so it is not a pure excess"
Looking ahead to Sunday's race, Quarterly stressed the need to work on speed and grip, areas that are crucial on the demanding Montmelo track. We work on speed and grip for tomorrow, because this track is really demanding on these two aspects"
Despite the difficulties encountered in Sprint, Quarterly remains committed to finding solutions to maximize the potential of its Yamaha and improve its performance in the main race.
