Yamaha menerusi pasukan utamanya, Monster Yamaha MotoGP terus menguasai pentas podium di Losail apabila menjuarai GP Doha yang dimenangi Fabio Quartararo, tengah malam tadi.
Ia adalah kemenangan pertama pelumba kelahiran Perancis itu bersama pasukan baharunya selepas meninggalkan pasukan Petronas Yamaha SRT musim lalu.
Sekalipun pada satu ketika ketinggalan, pelumba berusia 21 tahun itu berjaya menggunakan segala kelebihan yang dimiliki jentera Yamaha sebelum melepasi garisan penamat dengan kelebihan +1.457 saat di depan Johann Zarco (Pramac Ducati).
Rakan sepasukan Zarco yang juga 'muka baharu' di MotoGP, Jorge Martin melengkapkan kedudukan podium.
"Saya rasa kemenangan ini memberikan saya lebih kayakinan berbanding kemenangan pada tahun lalu kerana saya perlu mengejar jauh dari belakang," kata Quartararo. "Ketika ujian, ia amat sukar kerana saya rasa 'woah', kerana Ducati amat pantas di laluan lurus serta amat laju dan pasti sukar untuk menewaskan mereka.
"Tetapi sebenaranya kamu perlu melihat kepada kamu sendiri dan cuba untuk menjadi sebaik yang mungkin, dan ia adalah apa yang kami lakukan pada hari ini dan ia memberikan saya keyakinan pada masa depan."
Sementara itu, pasukan yang mempunyai 'sangkut paut' dengan Malaysia, Petronas Yamaha SRT terus kempunan untuk menghasilkan cabaran sengit.
Naib juara dunia tahun lalu, Franco Morbidelli sekadar menamatkan perlumbaan di tangga ke-12 manakala lebih malang buat juara dunia sembilan kali, Valentino Rossi yang terpaksa akur menamatkan saingan di luar pungutan mata, tangga ke-16.

Papaya Lambo. Spotted this Huracan Performante back then and this spec is one of the best out there. Paint wise, it was draped in a coat of Arancio Borealis and was complemented by a set of Loge rims. This combination oozes lightweight and screams ready for track at the same time. Hope to see such beast roam in Sepang in the future.

Replace my old Mercedes engine or buy a new car? Two days ago, I took my car to the shop because my oil pan blew. However it is too late as my mechanic said there were metal flakes in what was left of the oil. The only way to maintain it is to replace the engine but it would cost a lot. My friend who shared with me said that it wouldn’t drive as the same after replacing and it is a great possibility that there will be wasting money. He recommended me to buy a new car. But, actually I'd like to keep the car. Because it is a reliable car that always provides comfort and excellent driving experience to me beside the maintenance matter. Btw, it only had about 200K km on it when this happened. What's everyone's experience with replacing an engine? Which is the better choice for me between replacing my old Mercedes engine or buying a new car??
