Motorsport.com caught up with MotoGP star Fabio Quartararo for an open and revealing conversation in the stunning setting of Phillip Island. The French Yamaha rider appeared relaxed as he strolled along Smiths Beach, just beside the circuit, after spending a week on the Gold Coast soaking up the local lifestyle — early mornings, training, good food, and resting when the sun goes down.
Despite years of battling with a Yamaha he finds increasingly difficult to trust, Quartararo seemed calm as he discussed his future beyond 2026 — perhaps the most worrying sign yet for the Japanese brand.
