Fabio Quartararo has explained what he learned from Lewis Hamilton on a recent visit to the F1 paddock.<\/p>\n
The Yamaha MotoGP rider was a guest at the F1 Barcelona Grand Prix in June.<\/p>\n
Quartararo <\/a>spent time with Hamilton <\/a>and his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc – and was even allowed to listen into their team radio exchanges, and their post-race debrief.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was interesting to see what Lewis and Charles are talking about with the engineers and that there are a lot of details involved,\u201d Quartararo told Speedweek.<\/p>\n \u201cI took a lot of positives with me.”<\/p>\n Fabio Quartararo takes Ferrari lessons to Yamaha<\/p>\n The result is that Quartararo is trying to restructure important meetings with Yamaha personnel.<\/p>\n “After Barcelona, I had a meeting with my team,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n \u201cI need more information, especially so that I can understand the tyres better. We’re trying to hold other meetings, we’ve changed our approach a bit since then and I think we’re improving.<\/p>\n “It’s nothing really unusual, but normally we hold our meetings in the garage, now we do it in the meeting room with a TV where we can show exactly what we think. It was a bit simpler before.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s about more details. Of course, we can’t change everything from 0 to 100, but step by step we can adjust it so that we get more information.\u201d<\/p>\n Yamaha have made giant strides forward on Saturdays this season, and there is no questioning Quartararo\u2019s pace in qualifying.<\/p>\n Quartararo racked up a fourth pole position in a row at Assen to underline his bike\u2019s key strength.<\/p>\n But its weaknesses are apparent too, an inability to keep pace with more powerful rivals over a race distance.<\/p>\n
