On the sidelines of the Australian Grand Prix scheduled for this weekend, Frenchman Fabio Quartararo made a disappointing announcement.
After a two-week break, the MotoGP returns to action this weekend on the Phillip Island circuit in Australia. Having gone on vacation a few days before heading into the home stretch of the season, Fabio Quartararo “ wants to give the maximum » to end on a good note, he who is currently 9th in the drivers’ standings.
“After Mandalika, I took a little vacation. It was a good opportunity to recharge the batteries before this double sequence. We are in the final sprint of the season: there are only a few GPs left, very close, and we want to give our all to get the best out of them », Confided the Nice resident in comments relayed by General practitioner indoors.
Still struggling this season on his Yamaha, which is sorely lacking in performance and which prevents him from competing with the best, “El Diablo” is expecting another difficult weekend in Australia. It must also be said that he has never been comfortable on this track.
Quartararo: “Phillip Island is not the best circuit for me”
“ Honestly, Phillip Island is not the best circuit for me, nor is it a track with a lot of grip, admits the 2021 world champion. But, as always, we will give 100% to obtain the best possible result. A good start on Friday will be important. »
During his last four MotoGP Grand Prix on this Phillip Island circuit, Fabio Quartararo has never made a podium. Worse, his best result is a 9e place last season. This does not bode well for the 26-year-old French driver.
