Time to reset, train and prepare Phillip Island.” I want to thank the Thai fans and see you next year. “We used to be fast this year but somehow we had difficulties, problems and terrible feeling. After a really good weekend in dry condition, it rains just before our race. “Unfortunately we had a terrible race and couldn’t score a point. The only post-race comment Quartararo gave came the following day on his Instagram page (oddly itself now devoid of a profile picture and much activity, something really unusual for the normally social media-savvy 23-year-old), where he posted a photo of himself with a brief caption apologising for a disappointing race.Ī post shared by Fabio Quartararo a nightmare…” he wrote. He instead seemingly made a dash straight for the airport and a flight out of the rural town of Buriram that hosts the race.
He not only failed to appear in front of TV cameras or the print media who, having travelled all the way to Thailand, had waited to hear from him after a 17th-place finish that he knows might have done irreparable damage to his championship bid, but as it turns out Quartararo also completely avoided his own team afterwards. Those were the words uttered by Yamaha team boss Maio Meregalli on Sunday night following the Thai Grand Prix when the former racer was put in front of MotoGP’s TV cameras not only to explain what had gone so wrong in reigning world champion Fabio Quartararo’s race but also to explain the championship leader’s absence after he failed to show up for any media commitments. We need time to understand, but first of all, we need time to talk to him.” “It’s also for us to judge until we speak to him – we have to really talk to him, check the data, and see what happened. “We did not talk to Fabio after the race, because he was probably really disappointed and frustrated, and he went straight to his office to cool down.
