Quartararo is brimming with confidence after winning the Catalan Grand Prix and he reflected on the race.
"It was the best moment of my life, honestly. Better than both Jerez [wins], because when you arrive at a good moment and you win," Quartararo said.
"You expect it and you know that you're going to do it well. But then you have five races in a row and you are doing not so great, to arrive the victory, not just the podium,
"But the victory directly is amazing. A lot of emotions, thinking of my family who was watching me. I talked to my brother just before the start, because I went back to my office and he sent me a message," he added.
"I was in full confidence, I was feeling great and honestly it's great to be back in front."
Yamaha are sitting at the top of the Manufacturers' Championship standings with 163 points.
