Yamaha's Quartararo says he had 'nothing more' to give in BritishGP qualifying after failing to book a spot on the front row. MotoGP
But Quartararo says he was “already on the maximum” and could not have improved his best time of 1m57.938s, within 0.2s of Pramac polesitter Zarco.Aleix Espargaro
in June's Dutch TT last time out, Yamaha's “top” pace and improved consistency will enable him to fight victory. Asked by Motorsport.com whether starting fourth complicates his race, he said: “Well, it is what it is. I mean, I made one of the best laps of qualifying this year, I feel I have nothing more.“I feel happy about my pace also in FP4, okay with the crash of Aleix and [Takaaki] Nakagami I could not finish the lap because of the yellow flag, but I think all of our laps was on [1m]59 and this is something really positive.He added: “Johann has really strong pace, I think he is the fastest.
After taking a cheeky dig on social media at Espargaro’s comments on Friday night, asking in an Instagram story how many long laps the Aprilia rider would like Quartararo to take, he said on Saturday after qualifying fourth that the time loss is much bigger than has been stated."Some people think we lose only 0.8s, but we lose much more.
"So at the end, it’s something that I prefer to go a little bit slower and take no risk than put myself on the limit, risk a crash or risk to make another one. It’s not one-tenth or two tenths will change my life for 20 laps.”
