For Zam the key episode is at Assen, when Quartararo made a mistake and sent Aleix off track. The Frenchman is clear: "There I had too much confidence, after the victory in Barcelona.

For Quartararo that of Assen was a lesson: "When you win you learn little. On the difficulties in his second half of the season, Fabio here refers to the growth of Ducati, as opposed to what happened to Yamaha.

On Bagnaia: he is a worthy world champion, according to the Frenchman, who confirms his fair play, also recognising the value of Enea Bastianini. 

On the excellent relationship off the track with Bagnaia, Quartararo is clear: "Off the track is an account never on the track... even if I have my mum in front of me I pass her!"

Finally on the sprint race Quartararo confirms his doubts: it indicates more stress and risks, other than FP4.
