Fabio Quartararo said, “The first run was really good and then I was really surprised about making a 1m 29s and on my second lap I tried to push at my maximum. I knew that the 1m 29.7s would be at the front so that was our goal but I tried to push even more but it was not possible as I crashed in Turn 5. Overall it is really good, FP4 we had a good pace so I am really looking forward to the race. Unfortunately, we didn’t get laps in the dry in FP3 but I am really happy overall as our pace is a bit far from Marc but we will try in the race to stay with him.
I give my 100% in every race so tomorrow it will be the same for me. Looking at the pace he is a lot faster than us but we know that in the races it is different. We will try to stay with him but for us it is the same. If I am there with him we will try everything to fight with him like in Misano.”- Fabio Quartararo / Petronas Yamaha / 1'29.719s
