JAKARTA - Yamaha Racing MotoGP racer, Fabio Quartararo, has a good relationship with his rival, Aleix Espargaro. Their rivalry on the track is not contagious to the outside.

On several occasions, Quartataro and Espargaro seemed very close. In fact, when the two were involved in an incident at the Dutch MotoGP, there was no anger from Espargaro even though Quartararo was found guilty.

Another moment of intimacy also occurred at the press conference session ahead of the Dutch MotoGP. Quartararo, who was serving reporters' questions, suddenly received a video call from the Spaniard.

In fact, there was a moment where Espargaro's son, Max, called the French racer an uncle.

The question is starting to arise, will this good relationship be maintained considering that the two are now competing closely in the hunt for the 2022 MotoGP world title?

"To be honest, very easy from my side," replied Quartararo, as reported by Speedweek.

He said, when wearing a helmet on the track, he only had one goal, to beat whoever was in front of him. However, it will be different when he is not racing.

"I think we all have a lot of respect for each other because we know how dangerous our sport is," said the driver nicknamed El Diablo.

"It's very easy for me to go from a good boy to a real fighter when I wear a helmet," Quartararo smirks.

However, he admitted, not all of them could be spoken to or had a good relationship with. Some are easier, some are not.

Unfortunately, Fabio Quartararo did not specify who he meant. So far, Quartararo is known to have no rivals outside the MotoGP track.
