Fabio Quartararo always seems to be smiling, no matter if he wins or loses, he faces successes and difficulties with the same spirit. Perhaps this is his strength, naturally along with the talent for speed that Mother Nature has given him.
The Frenchman is fully aware of this and said so in an interview with Massimo Calandri published today in Italian daily La Repubblica: "I do the job I've always dreamed of. I have a duty to convert this energy into something positive. Lucky? Luck has a little to do with it, it's true: but then you have to work on it. A lot".
Fabio is doing it, especially this season when he feels surrounded by many, too many opponents. Of course the most dangerous is Bagnaia, who in 4 races has gone from 91 to 30 points behind.
"A pinch of nervousness is always good, but there is no reason to be afraid – he commented on the Italian rider’s comeback - Pecco is the most dangerous of my opponents, he goes very fast. But me too. I don't do calculations, it's not time yet ”.
However, it is one thing to focus on one rival, the other on a Red Army that can create an impassable wall for Quartararo.
"I can understand teamwork, if we talk about an official team: Miller giving a hand to Pecco, so Morbidelli can do it with me - he explained - It doesn't seem normal to me that a company tells 7 other riders to help one. But I don't want to get into these things, and in any case I have no power to change them: I can only try to stay in front of everyone ”.
Fabio also spoke about the spectator crisis affecting MotoGP.
“I think we need to focus more on quality. Raising the level of all sectors, trying to become exclusive, as happens in Formula 1 – was his view - People want what they cannot have: instead our paddock is frequented by thousands of people, 90% of them should not come in. If we make everyone understand how exceptional this world is - exclusive, in fact - we will return to catalyze interest ".
