Quartararo: “Unacceptable” to run out of fuel again in Japanese GP

Published

Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo has described running out of fuel for the second time in three MotoGP races as “unacceptable.”

The 2021 world champion lost 11th position in Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix to LCR Honda rival Johann Zarco after running dry on the finishing straight on the final lap.

This followed him losing a likely fifth-place finish late in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Misano last month.

“It’s unacceptable, twice in three races,” said the Frenchman after the race at Motegi, a circuit that is known for being tight with regard to fuel consumption and at which other riders came close to a similar fate this weekend.

“It’s bad enough that we really struggled this weekend, but to run out of fuel on top of that is a bit ridiculous.”

Asked if the team had a framework in place to avoid such situations, Quartararo said the system of mapping and warning lights had not worked as expected.

“We’re going to have to find out why the lights don’t come on, why the strategy doesn’t work.

“It’s up to me to do it, with the instructions the team gives me – but there aren’t any. Let’s just say the instructions didn’t work.”

The late fuel supply issue wasn’t the only thing that left Quartararo in negative spirits after Yamaha’s home race weekend, on which he placed 12th in qualifying as well as both races. Among other things, he was physically drained following the grand prix.

“I’m dead. By the middle of the race, my arms were gone and I was aching all over,” he said. “That’s also down to the grip we have. As soon as you don’t have any grip, the bike doesn’t change direction, even when braking, it doesn’t stop and you’re pushing hard. So [the race] is quite long.”

Tyre wear and grip levels were also on Quartararo’s mind following his tough Sunday.

“Even on the second lap of the race, compared to the others, it looks like they have new tyres and we have tyres at the end of their life. That’s what’s very difficult to understand, to see that there’s so much difference.

“Clearly, we know that even if we compare ourselves with [fellow struggling manufacturer] Honda, we clearly have grip problems. They are much better than us in that respect.”

Speaking to French broadcaster Canal+, Quartararo also suggested there was little point pushing the limits on fuel when Yamaha is so far behind.

“I don’t think that putting in a map that’s just a little bit different is going to win us anything, especially looking at the position we had this weekend,” he said.

“I don’t think we really had to play so much with the limit. We’re going to have to have some explanations because, as I said, it’s unacceptable.”

Olori Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi, the estranged wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has been reportedly rushed to the hospital following her arrest.

We reported early this week that Olori Naomi had gotten herself into trouble with her recent charity work. The mother of the crown prince, in collaboration with Agidigbo 88.7 FM, Ibadan, owned by Oriyomi Hazmat, had organized an event to feed the less privileged. Unfortunately, the event led to the death of over 32 children which was caused by a stampede.

The Governor, while sympathizing with the families of victims, noted that efforts had been made to stop further deaths and support victims.

We also learned that the former Queen reportedly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital shortly after her arrest by the police.

When the news of the incident broke out, Ooni expressed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. He showed solidarity with Naomi. He spoke highly of her character and how she was fond of organising similar events when she was royalty.

PRESS RELEASE

IGP WARNS AGAINST UNORGANIZED DISTRIBUTION OF PALLIATIVES, FUNFAIRS.

As 2 Other Incidences Hit FCT, Anambra.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., has raised serious concerns about the unorganized distribution of palliatives and relief items in the country during this festive period. This trend is worrisome and calls for urgent concerns to save the lives of citizens of this country, especially the vulnerable youths and the elderly.

This warning follows a series of tragic incidents that highlight the urgent need for a more structured and effective approach to delivering aid to vulnerable communities and members of the public in general. It would be recalled that on the 18th of December 2024, a tragic incident had occurred in Ibadan, Oyo State, where a stampede at a children’s fun fair resulted in the deaths of at least 35 children and left many others critically injured.

In the early hours of today, the 21st of December 2024, another tragedy struck at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Maitama, in a similar stampede that occurred during the distribution of food items to vulnerable and elderly individuals. This unfortunate incident led to the death of 10 individuals, leaving many others injured.

A similar incident also occurred at Okija, Ihiala Local Government, Anambra State at a palliative distribution set up by a philanthropist identified as Obi Jackson, which led to the death of several individuals. At the moment, 3 persons have been confirmed dead while many injured have been taken to various hospitals for adequate treatment.

The IGP emphasized the dangers posed to public safety during these unorganized distributions and funfairs set up by groups, individuals and NGOs, including the potential for stampedes and other incidents that could endanger lives. The lack of a well-defined plan for distributing palliatives has resulted in chaos, leading to long lines and unnecessary confrontations among citizens seeking assistance.

In light of these developments, the IGP has called on government officials, community leaders, and non-governmental organizations to work collaboratively towards establishing a comprehensive and organized framework for distributing palliatives. The IGP has hereby warned groups and organizers of similar events to ensure the involvement of security agencies as negligence on their part is criminal and would not be overlooked, as provided for in Sec. 196 of the Penal Code and Sec. 344 of the Criminal Code, Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In addition, the IGP has encouraged the general public who would want to benefit from such distributions to tread with caution, prioritizing their safety, to avoid unforeseen calamities.

The Nigeria Police Force reiterates its commitment to supporting efforts aimed at creating a safer and more structured environment for aid distribution in our communities. Collaborating with relevant stakeholders, the Force aims to prevent future tragedies and ensure such processes are seamless.

The IGP has ordered the Commissioners of the affected states to carry out thorough investigations into these ugly incidences for further legal actions. The Inspector-General of Police therefore sympathizes with the bereaved families and wishes those injured quick recovery.
