Fabio Quartararo wants MotoGP to pay closer attention to Formula 1 and its Sprint format, convinced it could boost the spectacle across race weekends. For the Frenchman, shorter sessions and more action would help keep fans and insiders engaged.
The debate is also relevant in Italy, where MotoGP remains hugely popular. Sprint races are already part of the championship, but Quartararo argues the concept could still be developed further to make every round more intense and compelling.
