Martin was ecstatic after securing his maiden podium in Doha and he revealed what he learned throughout the race.
"Yeah, it was a nice race. Difficult for me you know, leading 18 laps was a bit difficult, but anyway I think it was better like this for me," Martin said.
"I could control the pace, control the tyres that I was struggling with last weekend. I did a great step and I think I improved my focus and also my management of the tyre which is so important.
"I’m still missing a bit of speed for sure, as when Fabio overtook me I was a bit on the limit to follow him, but I say okay maybe now is the moment to push to follow him and keep this podium."
Yamaha are placed at the top of Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Ducati and Suzuki respectively.
