Fabio Quartararo says “finishing 14th or 10th is not a very big change” for him, prompting his “challenge” to run slicks in the wet opening to the MotoGP Japanese GP.
Quartararo stuck it out for just one more lap, however, and pitted at the end of the second tour, and would go on to finish 10th when the race was red-flagged midway through. “I think finishing 14th or 10th is not a very big change for us, so I wanted to try this challenge. It didn’t work but, hey, we’ll take the positives from this weekend.”Asked by Motorsport.com what he could have gained by pitting on lap one, Quartararo added: “A few positions further up, but no higher than P7. On the last two laps, I made some mistakes and lost a few seconds… maybe P7, P8, P9.”
