Fabio Quartararo Qualifies Fourth in Brazil but Yamaha Still Has Work to Do

Fabio Quartararo qualified fourth and finished sixth in the Brazil Sprint, passing both Marc Marquez and Marco Bezzecchi off the line in one of the weekends standout moments. The performance came despite Yamaha running 12km/h slower than Marquez on the straights, with Quartararo estimating 80% of the deficit comes purely from engine power. He has set no concrete goals before mid season. Progress. But not enough.
