2021 world champion reflects on year of change at Yamaha
Fabio Quartararo says Yamaha’s mentality change was the biggest improvement the struggling Japanese MotoGP marque made in 2024.
A new concessions system allowed Yamaha to continually update its engine across the campaign, with Quartararo noting that the marque was more willing to introduce new units as soon as they were available. “And also the concessions, I think, helped. When one engine was working, straight away in the next race we had it.“The first half was like this and the second half I think we managed to get a great step in a few areas, especially in the electronics.”
“If not, it will not be able to follow. But we just changed this year. So, it will follow the next years because we feel we made some small steps forward.”
