Quartararo’s Disappointment Post-Thai GP
Fabio Quartararo emerged visibly disheartened after the Thai Grand Prix. The reigning World Champion from 2021 had performed admirably in pre-season testing and seemed poised for success, even causing some concern for Ducati rivals. However, when the season kicked off in Buriram, he faced a disappointing turn of events, finishing in a disappointing 15th place. Quartararo struggled with tire performance during the race and expressed hope for improvement in the upcoming Argentine GP, despite being somewhat skeptical about achieving a turnaround. Following the Thai Grand Prix, he articulated his discontent in a rather sharp statement that conveyed his frustrations about the treatment he received and possibly served as a critique of the race organizers.
