• Martin: “I hope the MotoGP title wo🐓n’t be decided in an office”

But even when it was clear that𝔉 Yamaha could not challenge, Quartararo’s mindset 🔜remained the same, which was that of someone who wanted to win.

“As a person I’m a winner,” said Quartararo when speaking on🌃 the MotoGP.com podcast. “I don’t want to just give up because 🦹this is something I will never do. 

“Even if we’re in a situation where we know we cannot fight for the victory, I always believe that I have to fight for the victory. Maybe I wiꦏll not.”

That said, Quartararo also admitted that the beginning of this season re𒆙sulted in him losing the element of fun.

Unable to consisten🦩tly challenge at the front, especially when it came to qualifying, Quartararo admitted he was angered even after race weeken🐠ds ended.

Quartararo added: “The first part of the season I never accepted the position I was ending [up in]. This was making me super angry ♕even after the༒ GP. 

“I was home, disappointed and not enjoying life. But since mid-season I said ‘okay, whatever the result is we have to enjoy it and as soon as the races finish switch off’. From February to July I ♍was not enjoying it.”
