Fabio Quartararo, the leading figure for Yamaha, expressed his disappointment after repeatedly facing challenges in Australia while riding the M1. His primary concern revolves around cornering.

Fabio Quartararo ended the first day of action on the Phillip Island track in the seventeenth position, a result that not only left him unsatisfied but added to his growing frustration and that of the Yamaha team. “I have no chance of getting into Q2,” he stated bluntly, “I wanted to improve, but I’m a second off the pace. Our weakest point is the corners. The bike doesn’t turn, and since 2019, it’s been a continuous decline. Even my teammate struggles, and we can’t figure out why.”

Quartararo also highlighted the increased competitiveness of the entire group. “In 2022, I managed to qualify in the top 5, and we were a couple of tenths off the strongest. Progress was consistent throughout the weekend. Today, however, it’s all different. With a 1’29″4 last year, I was fourth; in contrast, this Friday, I was faster but only finished seventeenth. Everyone is pushing harder, but for me, hitting 1’28″9 was reaching the limit.”

Tires are undoubtedly playing a significant role. “Before Indonesia, I knew we could aim for the podium because of the tire choice and the different carcass. Everything was in our favor there. Here, we certainly can’t have the same ambitions. The tires are not so much penalizing us as they are helping the competition. The problem is that we’re not consistent. In India, I battled with Martin until the end; in Japan, during the Sprint Race, I was one of the fastest. Then in Mandalika, we took a step back. It’s hard to understand where we stand,” he expressed with confusion.

Lastly, he commented on Dorna’s decision to reverse the actual GP and the mini-race, now moved to Sunday. “If the weather was normal, it would be a problem for us because the more rubbered the track is, the better we perform. That said, there’s not much to add; we just have to try to do our best.”
