In less than a month now, MotoGP will return to Malaysia for tests in Sepang. In the middle of the winter break, the drivers are pawing with impatience and wondering what their proud 2017 version steed will be made of. A question that is even more pressing for those who have changed teams. But there is one who only has a thirst for piloting. His name is Andrea Iannone. And what does the Suzuki bottle matter as long as he gets drunk.

Andrea Iannone is apparently not a very complicated driver. It is whole and raw which not only has advantages on the track and in the box. But this at least has the merit of having no technical preconceptions about its machine. Blessed bread for designers. This season, he will discover a new environment at Suzuki after having evolved at Ducati. Some in his place would inquire about the next GSX-RR. But not him.

A carelessness, but also a real confidence in himself which he explains thus on Tuttosport : " I have never seen nor know anything about the new bike. And it's much better that way. I just want to go to Malaysia, get on it and ride with it. I don't expect anything in particular and this is the best way to never be disappointed ».

Biblically simple. He pursues : " I have everything I want from Suzuki. At 27 now, I couldn't ask for more in my life. I've matured a lot, I have the best people around me and there's a great atmosphere, which helps me turn the page on four years with Ducati. ". That said, Jo the Maniac still has some objectives. And they are just as simple: “ I want to be a star. I'm in MotoGP to win the championship. It won't be easy, but I will do everything to get there ».
