Raúl Fernández is working diligently with his technical team to improve his Aprilia setup after finishing 15th at the Argentina GP. He emphasizes the importance of feeling progress despite challenges and is focused on being fully prepared for the Qatar GP following the Americas GP. His commitment to overcoming obstacles is evident in his discussion of the upcoming races.
Raúl Fernández recently discussed his preparation for the upcoming Qatar Grand Prix, acknowledging the challenges faced during the Argentina GP where he finished in 15th place. He emphasized the intensive collaboration he has had with his technical team to address setup issues with his Aprilia motorcycle. Fernández expressed optimism for performance improvements, particularly looking forward to the Americas GP before Doha.
During his assessment, Fernández stated that he dedicated considerable time to working with his engineers, indicating, “In the end, we spent a lot of time with the engineers, with my crew chief and with my data engineers trying to find a solution. Yesterday [Saturday] I left around 21:30/22h00 and that was when we tried to find the change in setup.” This detail reflects his commitment to enhancing both his bike’s performance and his racing capabilities.
The psychological aspect of racing was also addressed, as he noted the importance of feeling progress following a tough race weekend. “For me, it’s important because after a very difficult weekend, you finish the race not in the place you want, but you feel that the bike is doing what you want. It’s important for the future.” He believes that perseverance is essential for success in future races, which he feels was a revelation during the race weekend.
Setting clear objectives for the championship, Fernández acknowledged, “It’s true that I’m not 100% ready and we need to work a little more in Texas. Certainly, in Texas it will be better, but the thing is that in Doha we have to be ready, and I think this is the objective.” His determination to improve and be prepared for upcoming races reflects his commitment to achieving competitive success.
In summary, Raúl Fernández is focused on enhancing his performance in the MotoGP season, specifically looking forward to the Qatar GP after a challenging Argentina GP. He has invested significant effort into resolving technical issues and emphasizes the importance of psychological resilience in racing. With clear goals for improvement outlined for the Americas GP and Doha, Fernández remains committed to achieving his best in the upcoming races.
