Quartararo has endured an inconsistent start to his title defence this season, with the Yamaha rider struggling to ninth in the opening round in Qatar before putting on his best-ever wet weather display in Indonesia to take second.
The Frenchman has made no secret of his unhappiness at the lack of progress Yamaha has made in improving the top speed of the YZR-M1 this year, while noting in Qatar that he was having a lot of rear grip problems.
