Fabio Quartararo is looking closely at Formula 1’s model and does not rule out MotoGP moving further toward Sprint races. For the Yamaha rider, shorter races could make weekends even more intense and entertaining for fans.
The idea is not new in the paddock, but it still divides opinion: some worry about an overloaded schedule, while others see Sprints as a chance to bring fresh attention to the world championship. Quartararo, for now, is among those in favor of the F1 comparison.
