The Iwata-based manufacturer has pulled out all stops to convince Quartararo that he won't be better off at a rival outfit, having managed to renew its contract with the French rider in a move that caught the paddock by surprise earlier this month.
Although it is clear that a lucrative €12 million financial offer played a significant part of Quartararo's decision to stay at Yamaha, the profound changes in the factory's reaction times also pushed him to sign a contract that will continue until the end of the 2026 season.
