The French Fabio Quartararofourth in the official classification for the British MotoGP Grand Prix, acknowledged that he had done “one of the best laps in official practice”, and was “left with the feeling that he had nothing else”.
“We would like to have more power in some parts, but we are already at the maximum. I am happy with my pace in FP4 and with the crashes of Aleix and Nakagami I couldn’t finish the lap because of the yellow flags. , but I think all our laps are at 59 and it is very positive because the circuit is better than last year and my consistency is also better”, affirmed the leader of the world championship.
Regarding the performance of the author of the pole position, his compatriot Johann Zarco, the Frenchman highlighted that “Johann has a great race pace, I think he is the fastest, but our pace is worth fighting for the victory and, in addition, there is the ‘long lap’, so we don’t know what position we will finish in, but our pace is good.'”
As for the incidents of his rivals, Fabio Quartararo recalled that they were “part of the game; if you don’t find the right set-up…, Bagnaia is not that far, he is close to me; and Aleix. crashed, but shortly after the ‘time attack’ was very close to me. It’s an individual sport and you have to think only about yourself, but I’m very glad that Aleix didn’t have any serious injuries afterwards that’s hard to fall.”
Quartararo, who did not want to comment on the crash of Aleix Espargaró, assured that it “does not pay” for his “long lap” penalty, “it does not pay anything, because they are two completely different things and in the opinion I don’t think it compensates for anything,” he insisted.
do long laps
The current world champion explained when to comply with the sanction that he had to talk to the team to know “how many laps I have to do and when they will put it on me, because in the end it is an area where it is a bit difficult to see when they put it on you and it can be on lap 1, lap 2 or lap 3. Race Direction chooses the moment, and it’s a point that’s hard to see, because you come out of the last corner and you have to see it, and In first laps and with all the boards, it’s not easy”.
Quartararo explained that it’s best to do it as much as possible “because it’s dangerous because when you go out on this ‘long lap’ you’re not in the best place because everyone goes through that start, so hopefully the Race Direction will put this to me as late as possible to make it safer.”
“Some people think we are losing eight tenths, but we are losing more. I prefer to slow down a little and not take too many risks, put myself at the limit and risk crashing or have to do another long lap and one or two tenths. won’t they change my life with 20 laps ahead”, stressed Quartararo at the moment of following the sanction
