Quartararo: “I’m not worried”

After completing 17^e of the Thai GP, fabio quartararo decided not to speak and canceled his post-race press briefing. Since then, the World Champion has cut himself off from social networks. His Instagram account was deactivated for a few hours before being reinstated with the words “having a break”. In any case, he will be one of the drivers present at the conference on Thursday.

What a nightmare… Unfortunately we had a terrible race and couldn't score a point. After a really good weekend on dry condition it rains just before our race. We used to be fast this year but somehow we had difficulties, problems and terrible feeling. I want to thank the Thai pic.twitter.com/vHvQHxNkxl

With two small points ahead of Francesco Bagnaia overall, Quartararo can no longer afford to be the recurring star of this campaign against the horde of Ducatis and Aprilias. 

With 75 points at stake, no mistakes are allowed for the Nice player if he wishes to keep his place on the throne. “The result in Thailand was very disappointing,” recalls Quartararo. After Thailand, I was able to concentrate on preparing for this last part of the season. I spent the week training and preparing because the next two races are coming, and they are going to be very important. But I'm not worried. The championship is now level, so it's about doing our best, working well with our team and scoring the most points. »

Quartararo and Bagnaia have only raced once in MotoGP at Phillip Island, it was in 2019. The Frenchman was taken out by Danilo Petrucci on the first lap and ended his race on the carpet, when the Italian finished fourth, his best result in MotoGP at that time .
