A wet race saw Quartararo come home P18 to record a Buriram blank, and allowed Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) to close the gap to just two points with three rounds to go. The Frenchman described it as a “nightmare” performance on Instagram, which was his latest post to date before he went on to remove his profile picture from the social media platform, while also implying he will take time away from the platform, stating in his bio that he is “having a break.”
