Fabio Quartararo says his team Yamaha is in a very difficult situation. He explained that the team does not know how to fix their problems right now.

He said the engineers tried many things with the bike. They changed many settings and tested different ideas. But every time, the result was almost the same. The bike still feels bad and does not improve.

Quartararo explained that Yamaha knows what is missing from the bike. For example, the bike needs better grip and more performance. But knowing the problem is not enough. The team still does not understand how to solve it.

This makes the situation very frustrating. The rider is always trying new setups, but nothing gives a clear step forward. There is no strong base setup that works well.

Yamaha is also working on a new bike project. They want to build a better machine for the future. But this takes a long time. Big changes need many tests and a lot of data. Because of this, quick success is not expected.

In modern MotoGP, the level is very high. Other teams, like Ducati and Aprilia, are very strong. Yamaha is now behind them and must rebuild step by step.

Quartararo is honest about the situation. He says the team must stay patient. The problems are big, and the solution will not come quickly. For now, Yamaha is still searching for answers.
