🚨 Fabio Quartararo Receives SERIOUS INTERNAL PENALTY from Yamaha Boss After Skipping Engine Testing for Luxury Vacation
🔥 MotoGP star Fabio Quartararo is under fire after Yamaha’s team management issued a serious internal penalty for his decision to skip a crucial engine testing session in Misano. Instead of joining his crew to evaluate the newly upgraded M1 engine, Quartararo was spotted enjoying a luxury vacation aboard his private jet, later seen relaxing on a yacht off the coast of Monaco. The timing of his absence — just days after a disappointing French Grand Prix — has sparked outrage within the Yamaha camp.
⚠️ Yamaha boss Lin Jarvis reportedly confronted Quartararo directly, expressing frustration over what he called “a lack of commitment during a critical development phase.” The team had hoped to gather data on the new engine’s performance ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where top speed and acceleration are key. Quartararo’s absence forced engineers to rely on test riders, delaying progress and undermining the team’s preparation. According to insiders, Jarvis imposed a €2,000 fine and suspended Quartararo from the first 10 minutes of FP1 at Silverstone.
💬 Quartararo’s response has been defiant, reportedly telling a teammate, “I needed a break — they’ll get over it.” However, tensions are rising, with some Yamaha staff questioning his long-term commitment to the project. The 2021 world champion has already hinted at needing “a winning project now” to stay with the team, and this latest incident may push him closer to the exit. Rumors are swirling about potential interest from Ducati and KTM, both of which are monitoring the situation closely.
🏁 As the MotoGP season intensifies, Quartararo’s actions have cast a shadow over Yamaha’s future. While his talent is undeniable, his recent behavior has raised concerns about leadership, discipline, and team unity. Whether this penalty serves as a wake-up call or accelerates a dramatic split remains to be seen — but one thing is clear: the tension between rider and team has reached a boiling point.
