Fabio Quartararo Frustrated 8th Finish In MotoGP Argentina: You Win The Championship On Podium, We're Not Ready For That

JAKARTA - Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP racer, Fabio Quartararo, was only able to finish eighth in the Argentina MotoGP race last weekend. This result clearly did not make him happy.

The French rider emphasized that to win the world title it is not enough just to finish in the eighth position. Need better than that.

"You win the championship by fighting for the podium or the top five. Right now, we are not ready for that and it is very frustrating", said the 2021 MotoGP world champion.

"So every time we are fast in the race, there are always problems like this, it's difficult to fight for the championship."

Quartararo said his team needed to find a solution and try to better understand why problems like the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit could occur.

However, the MotoGP race in Argentina will not affect Quartararo. He admits that he has a strong mentality and will stay focused in the future.

"This is not a race where I will be unfocused, so I will always be focused and try to understand where the problem is and why."
