In 2024, there are expected to be changes to the concession system in MotoGP, aiming to mitigate Ducati’s dominance and assist less competitive manufacturers in making progress. Yamaha, with Fabio Quartararo as one of its riders, is one of those manufacturers.
The Frenchman emphasized that the upcoming season will be crucial for the Iwata-based manufacturer, emphasizing the need to make the best possible use of any concessions that may come into effect:
– At the end it’s important for us, first of all to have a sattelite team. If we have the concessions, we have to use them really well, because I don’t think we’ll have them for so long. I think if we have it for half an year or one year will be a lot, so we have to use it a lot and I think it will be the most important year for Yamaha. So hopefully they can really take the benefit of these concessions and it will be important also for us.
