Fabio Quartararo, obsessed with perfection, on Canal+
The MotoGP season kicks off on March 1st with the Thailand Grand Prix. The broadcaster, Canal+, offers an exceptional “Inside Sport” show on Sunday evening in prime time, at 9:05 pm, titled “Fabio Quartararo, obsession(s)”. The cameras follow the 2021 French world champion in his daily life. We see his efforts, sacrifices, and rare moments as the official Yamaha team opened its doors to the film crew in 2025. We are by Quartararo’s side as he achieves four pole positions, faces disappointments, outbursts, and strokes of luck.
Committed to Yamaha until the end of 2026, Quartararo effortlessly transitions between French, Italian, Spanish, and English. He can be very straightforward with his engineers, not playing the celebrity role, as quoted “having a chef at home? I can measure 80g of rice and 180g of chicken myself!” He earns admiration from Yamaha and colleagues like seven-time world champion Marc Marquez, who says “he will win more titles”. His manager and friend, Thomas Maubant, highlights, “Fabio is a better rider than during his title time, as he has raised his level to compensate for the bike’s shortcomings.”
