Quartararo has struggled in qualifying trim this season, scoring just one pole in 2022 compared to the five he managed last season on his way to the championship. But a harder front tyre allocation brought by Michelin to Valencia has boosted Quartararo’s confidence in being able to push harder in qualifying, which he admits “is important to us” if he is to fight for victory on Sunday.“And this year we have one step harder, it’s going to be a big help for us.Quartararo fractured the middle finger on his right hand in a crash last time out in Malaysia and will have surgery on it once the season is over.
However, he does not expect it to cause him issues this weekend, adding: “It’s not so painful but it’s bent.“I had some painkillers, but it’s not an issue and for sure will be even less so here. I will have surgery in the winter just to have a normal finger because it’s pretty strange.”
