Diving in with El Diablo: MotoGP’s speedy special talent “I’m a nice guy…but when I put my helmet on, it’s ‘devil time’”. Fabio Quartararo has a memorable name, remarkable talent and a freaky skill to switch characters. On the outside the boyish, fashion-loving, running-obsessed, 24-year-old looks like any other young successful professional. Clicking together the helmet strap he transforms into a force possessed: a racer of unquenchable thirst for spoils – a trait that marked his stable childhood all the way through, a competitive adolescence and up to the peak of a sport operating at 350kmph. He drills his prototype Monster Energy Yamaha to the brink. He paints black lines across asphalt from Argentina to Australia. He rubs shoulders with rivals for fractions of a second in lap-times and walks side-by-side with his mortality every time he strides out of a pitbox and onto the saddle of the M1. An elite sportsman’s psyche is an incredibly engrossing mystery. The ways (and the reasons) these people are different to us always prods the imagination. Monster Energy tracked Fabio throughout 2023, spoke to his closest confidants and looked for a way to see behind the shades. Join us as we dive into the man behind the visor and what it takes to be a winner. Follow us: @monsterenergy #MotoGP #FabioQuartararo #MonsterEnergy #WinningMentality #ElDiablo
