Fabio Quartararo is not nicknamed El Diablo for nothing. Affable in bourgeois clothing and eager to please as many people as possible when he is in civilian life, the same person shows a very different personality in combat gear, leather combination and helmet on his theater of operation which is a circuit. At this moment, the devil comes out of his box and no matter who is in front, he will have to be behind in the end. As it is precisely the devil, it is not God who recognizes his own in these moments. However, would he go so far as to sanction them for hindering him on the track?
fabio quartararo is the type of World Champion symbol of a generation that past glories do not understand. For the latter, falling into each other's arms in the parc ferme while congratulating each other on their performance was an improbable scene, as their rivalry also spilled over into the consideration of the adversary who was also an enemy. A time gone but the Frenchman now decorated with the Legion of Honor nevertheless specifies that when the visor is lowered, we return to the old rivalry.
Public chat speedweek, he recalls thus: “ as soon as I put on the helmet, it could be my mother, my father or my brother, I just have one in front of me to beat ". The French of 23 years adds: “ I think we all have a lot of respect for each other because we know how dangerous our sport is. But of course, there are people you find it easier to talk to and have a great relationship with. ". But that doesn’t change anything in race mode, the Yamaha official confirmed: “ it's very easy for me to go from nice guy to real fighter when I put on the helmet ».

After this Oedipal confidence about what would happen on the track if the father crossed the path of the son, would the latter go so far as to ask for punishment if he found himself embarrassed and stopped in his momentum? This needs to be studied, because this type of incident is the kind of event that causes people to react Fabio Quartararo : " it is a problem » he assures. “ For example, if someone makes a mistake, there is no reason to stay in the middle when you have someone behind you who you are really bothering ».
According to him, such misconduct should be punished more severely than has been the case until now. “ When I was in Moto3, MotoGP riders were my role models and if we start doing that, I'm sure Moto3 will do the same. There are a lot of punishments in Moto3, but there are never any punishments in MotoGP. I've never seen a rider get punished for that in MotoGP, apart from Jack in Argentina, when he embarrassed me ».
We will indeed remember that the Australian was then penalized by three places on the starting grid. Later in the season, the same received the long lap penalty for a similar infraction in free practice, as did Franco Morbidelli. Regarding sanctions, fabio quartararo think : " we have to be tougher, not only in qualifying but also in free practice ".
