\u201cIt looks like, from his words, he give an opportunity to Yamaha, also the contract economically was very good,\u201d Lorenzo said of Quartararo.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, when you don\u2019t have the money, you want the money; but when you get the money but not the results then you missed to get results.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you cannot have it all, or it\u2019s difficult to have it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this moment, Ducati is still the most competitive bike, but Ducati doesn\u2019t need to pay as much as other factories who are a little behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always a balance and the rider needs to decide with the terms of the will to win that they have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yamaha will switch to a V4 for next year, after over 20 years of inline-four power. It will bring them in-line with the rest of the factories in MotoGP in engine configuration, Lorenzo \u2013 a three-time World Champion with the inline-four M1 \u2013 was keen to point out that it will not be a simple fix for Yamaha\u2019s performance woes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s strange because they have a lot of experience with the inline-four, they are specialised in that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why, probably, they never got the most powerful engine because with the inline-four it was difficult to get the most from it in terms of power.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNow they will have the possibility to fight with the other factories for the top speed, but for sure they are clearly disadvantaged in terms of experience with this type of engine, so it will not be an easy job.\u201d<\/p>\n
