Fabio Quartararo is still trying to understand the reasons behind Yamaha's inconsistent performance. After another frustrating session, the Frenchman assured that the issue is not the bike's setup, but rather the unpredictable electronic behaviour.
Asked whether a new setup would be tested for the following day, Quartararo dismissed the idea: “No. The setup is good. That we have to just understand why when we change of rubber, we change completely our bike and our electronic become crazy and the setup of the bike is great. I mean, it’s in Qatar that we just touch a little bit of few things. Electronic, of course, must must change, but, yeah, I mean, it was not it was not the busiest day, but the engineers now have to understand why I have this this control, like, completely losing.”
As for the grip level on track, the rider clarified it wasn't the main issue:
– For me was not so bad. I mean, of course was not the best grip that we expect, but I think the problem we have didn’t really get to the grip. You know, this is not the position we are now is in my case the other Yamaha I don’t know, but in my case the position we are now is not really related to the grip. So this is not so bad, but, yeah, this this thing about compound that make us really struggle is something really strange.
