Quartararo thinks Thailand has more options than Japan

Since the Japanese Grand Prix, the Grand Prix has launched a new media day modality, with a press conference with the title contenders and another press conference on highlights from the previous race. Frenchman Fabio Quartararo was one of the pivots in his first press conference at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, the circuit where he played the starring role in his 2019 race in Thailand.

As Motegi recalls

“It was a frustrating race because we couldn’t overtake. The pace was very good but we were very stuck. At this circuit we managed the situation well enough to get a good result.

“Actually I’m riding alone so it’s not a problem, but in a race it’s dangerous when you’re behind other riders because you can’t see anything. I looked at the track today and it was raining like yesterday. “There are a lot of them, but I don’t think there will be any problems here either, but for better drainage.”
