Fabio Quartararo replaced Valentino Rossi in the garage of the Yamaha factory team this season of MotoGP and already celebrated the victory in the second race in Losail. The Frenchman, who is leading the World Championship scoring after nine races, admitted that he felt pressure at the beginning of his career in the factory team.

“At the beginning of the year, I felt pressure, not from the team, but from the outside,” Quartararo said. “I tried to ignore him, but I felt pressure all the time as I replaced the king. The media also put me under pressure as they reminded me that I have to prove myself as I hold an important position on the team. The victory in Qatar brought relief, as it put pressure on her. ”

Quartarar was also given additional strength by the second victory of the season in Portimao, where he finished 14th last year. “The victory in Portimao was important, as I drove one of the worst races there last year. Since then, I have been able to perform in a relaxed way. ”
