If we judge by this little bombshell dropped by Carlo Pernat, it seems indeed confirmed that the MotoGP transfer market for 2023 is currently in full swing. The columnist but also manager of Bastianini and Arbolino, just like the former boss of Aprilia Racing, is at the crossroads of rumors and rumors that long-time and generally well-placed acquaintances spread to him. The latest speculation is worth its weight in gold since it concerns a money question between World Champion Fabio Quartararo and his employer Yamaha. There would therefore not be just one subject of technical evolution of the M1.
It's worth what it's worth, but it's said. Charles Pernat thus ensures that Fabio Quartararo negotiates a sensitive salary chapter as part of its discussions with Yamaha for the renewal of his contract. We knew that, for 2023 “ everything was open » according to the manager's expression Eric Mahe, we knew the Frenchman's legitimate concern about the technical level of the next M1, but we had not really looked into the theme of remuneration.
Charles Pernat did it and here is what he said about it on GPOne according to Todocircuito : " According to the information that reached me, Quartararo made a huge request to Yamaha, I understand that he asked for 20 million euros ».
Carlo Pernat implies 10 million per season for Fabio Quartararo
This implies 10 million per season, since the lease would run over two years. In view of what the tricolor currently receives, it is a nice increase which is requested but since fabio quartararo became World Champion, wins races and is even the only one in the clan Yamaha to allow the brand to play at the forefront. And then, we are still far from 15 million per year that Jorge Lorenzo was able to collect from Ducati or 12 million per season Valentino Rossi obtained during his best seasons with Iwata's company. A value which is currently that of a Marc Marquez.
Certainly, but we were also in the world before, the world of today being economically much more uncertain and opening rather to these contracts with a fixed minimum, enhanced by strong bonuses for results. While waiting for the rest, here is an idea of the current salaries in MotoGP, per year and per race, according to a Indonesian source. If the estimate is correct, it is a safe bet that the salaries of bagnaia as Jorge Martin also know a leap forward…
