Fabio Quartararo feels Marc Marquez’s departure from Honda last year “woke a lot of people up” at Yamaha’s MotoGP project and helped his decision to stay with the Japanese marque.
Earlier this month, Quartararo inked a fresh multi-year deal with Yamaha, keeping him with the Iwata-based manufacturer until at least the end of the 2026 season. The new contract was agreed despite an underwhelming start to the new campaign for Yamaha, leaving the 24-year-old to fight for lower reaches of the points in the opening three rounds of the season.

'The speed with which parts can be changed has totally changed. I think it was very interesting for me to continue with Yamaha.' Some factions have questioned Quartararo's choice to stay at Yamaha for 2025-26, amid its continued struggles in MotoGP over the last few seasons.
