'I don’t know if I’m going to turn, or if I’m going to go into the gravel.' Fabio Quartararo says he felt 'out of control' on the Yamaha in AustrianGP qualifying, where he could do no better than fifth.
The M1 lacks in power compared to the rest of the bikes on the current MotoGP grid, with Red Bull Ring dependent on top speed for strong lap times – even with the new chicane installed at Turn 2 for this year.
The championship leader admits in qualifying now he doesn’t know if “I’m going to turn or if I’m going into the gravel” when he pushes as he feels the Yamaha is “just out of control”. “So that’s the most difficult thing. My front is moving so much, my bike is moving and in the end, I don’t have 100% control in qualifying.
“This is the problem. In 2019, and even last year, I was much more consistent and better. But this year is a nightmare for us, I’m not enjoying it as much.”Quartararo showed decent race pace in the FP4 session ahead of qualifying, but notes that starting strong on weekends before his rivals make bigger steps – as has been the case in Austria – is just “highlighting” Yamaha’s season so far.
