MotoGP | GP Qatar 2: Franco Morbidelli, “We still have a question mark”

MotoGP GP Qatar 2 Yamaha Petronas SRT 2021 – Franco Morbidelli, after the disappointing Qatar Grand Prix, hopes to be able to resolve the problems that slowed him down in the race and relegated him to the rear.

The Italian-Brazilian driver had first had a hole-shot problem on the grid and then during the race he had no feeling with the rear shock absorber.

His M1 seems "beautiful" during the day and "capricious" at night, which is what he will work on with the team in order to be competitive in the Doha Grand Prix, scheduled for Sunday again at the Losail International Circuit.

“The problem we had in the race is linked to what happened during the test days. I was fast in the daytime sessions, FP1 and FP3, while we struggled in the evening due to some problem that we haven't yet identified. Precisely for this reason we will change everything that we think could be the cause of this and we will try to be fast. On the grid we didn't think about changing the bike, but I think it would have changed little, much less did I ever think about not racing, I did it out of respect for those who work for me and for the fans."
