Fabio Quartararo says he was swayed to remain with Yamaha beyond 2024 in MotoGP after being told about “confidential” changes incoming that are “huge” for the project.
Last week Yamaha announced it had re-signed Quartararo to a new two-year contract, reportedly worth around €12 million per season, taking him through to the end of 2026. It comes as Yamaha has continued to struggle for form in the first round of 2024 and Quartararo admitted discussions with rival teams.
“I think also one of the reasons is the budget in terms of improving the bike is really high in Yamaha,” he said. “With the arrival of Max Bartolini from Ducati, he really brought us some good ideas and Yamaha can make it quick – but not super quick because we need a little bit of time. “But this is something super important and already next year it can be quite different.” He added: “It was great because for me in Portugal it was a lot of information that made me want to stay.
