Fabio Quartararo says there’s “no strategy” he can put into action to recover from 12th in the MalaysianGP to keep his crumbling MotoGP title hopes alive. Here's what the reigning world champion said ⬇️
Asked what strategy he has to fight back from 12th given the Yamaha’s struggles in pack races, Quartararo said: “I think starting from P12 you have no strategy.“So, I think there’s not a specific strategy, but first see which tyre to use because unfortunately we didn’t have so much time to try the medium and the soft.
He says this didn’t hinder him at all in qualifying, instead blaming his lack of pace on a mystifying opening run and a miscalculation in timing for two laps in his final run.“So maybe I was not as focused or I don’t know, but the first run is something I still don’t understand. “And in the second run I don’t understand why we didn’t have enough time… we didn’t calculate, basically, to do two laps.
“So, second run was much better – not on the feeling, but on the lap time, until the moment at the same corner where I crashed.”
