The performance of the Yamaha M1 of the Italian-Brazilian rider of Team Petronas drops as the sun goes down, a problem that the team has not yet managed to resolve despite pre-season tests having also been carried out in Qatar.

During the race he was also slowed down by a problem with the rear shock absorber, here's what "Sorbido" had to say about it.

Statements Franco Morbidelli GP Qatar 2 Preview

“It could be a difficult weekend. We saw after the pre-season tests and after the race that something was wrong with our package. There are times of the day when it works well and others not; we have good speed in the afternoon, before nightfall. We need to analyze this weekend's data to try to understand why. I hope we can resolve the problem by this weekend, we'll see what happens. Otherwise, it will be a weekend of 'damage limitation', in which we will try to defend ourselves as much as possible and take the points we can."
