He was annoyed that he couldn’t compete with Jack Miller in the leading group.

“With all the circumstances and with what has happened, of course I would say that it is better to take eight points than to lose eight,” said Quartararo. Motorsport.com.

“But it is good on the one hand, but frustrating on the other because I feel that our potential is not to fight for sure with Jack, because today he was on another level,” added Quartararo.
