All through 2019, Fabio Quartararo marked himself as a title protagonist for this season with his incredible performances on his 'B-spec' Petronas-run Yamaha. Guiding his bike to seven podiums and six pole positions in a stunning rookie season, he had the established frontrunners worried.

After taking his maiden win in the Spanish GP, Quartararo dominated the Andalusian GP at Jerez the following week.
