Yamaha\u2019s Fabio Quartararo admits he \u201cwas not even motivated\u201d in the first half of the 2023 MotoGP season, but now \u201caccepts\u201d his situation as not being a frontrunner.
Since he stepped up to the premier class in 2019 with Petronas SRT, Quartararo has been a constant in the battle for the podium for Yamaha, winning races every year through 2020 to 2022 and securing the title in 2021.
