We are there with the two champions from Honda and Yamaha, Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo: we are doing our part against bad luck. And we even have a blast on social networks by posting messages to each other. They're not yet at the point where they're riding on trestles, but if it continues like this, by the end of the season, who knows?
The message on Instagram of Marc Marquez however, was intended to be neutral and “corporate”, simply thanking the team for the work provided. “ One weekend from less to more. Thanks to the team for all the work ". Then a first response arrived and it attracted attention since it came from the official pilot Yamaha Fabio Quartararo, which had also not experienced great success in Silverstone. His mention? “ what a grip you had! ».
Did Fabio Quartararo make fun of himself or Yamaha via a social message sent to Honda rider Marc Marquez's network?
The response from the eight-time World Champion was: “ and what about your top speed? ". A question which had its reaction since fabio quartararo responded with a turtle emoticon, followed by laughter. On the network Honda via Marc Marquez, fabio quartararo therefore openly criticized the engine Yamaha that Lynn Jarvis, his boss in the box nevertheless strives to present it as a positive thing compared to the previous year in the current package of the M1.
Not sure that on Iwata's side these kinds of exchanges, all in all childish, are to the taste of the brand's managers. We know of some in Austria who did not hesitate to turn after being blacklisted by one of the official drivers who also spoke French. Finally, in 2024, alex rins is coming and, at this rate, he won't need to make much effort to gain all the sympathy of the Japanese.
