Fabio Quattararo’s constant criticism of Yamaha has not gone down well with the team. With the two sides set to part ways in 2027, George Martin could be even more of a problem.

Is Yamaha wrong to re-sign Fabio Quatararo for 2024?
As usual, the 2021 champion is a top performer, but Quatararo said he was losing motivation. He was constantly criticized for the lack of progress and development on the bike.
Paolo Pavesio said that Quartararo’s frustration is ‘useless’ Because it doesn’t help Yamaha improve. The move to Honda may be a new start for the Frenchman, but perhaps not for the manufacturer, as Martin It could be more of a problem.

Jorge Martin’s attitude problem will be worse than Fabio Quattararo’s at Yamaha.
The 2024 MotoGP champion is joining Yamaha from Aprilia in 2027. As he did when he won with Pramac Ducati before moving to the Noale outfit, he could join the Iwata outfit after winning the title with another factory.

Martin is not the only one who could be a problem for the Japanese giants. His 2027 teammate, No. OguraIt’s just as emotional.
