Fabio Quartararo, who secured the pole position for the British Grand Prix, has expressed a lack of optimism for Sunday's race. His concerns stem from his performance in the Saturday sprint, where he dropped to seventh place after being overtaken by Ducati riders.

Quartararo initially took an early lead at Silverstone during the sprint race. However, as the riders approached the Hangar Straight, Marc Marquez passed him using the factory Ducati GP25.

The article suggests Quartararo's diminished confidence is due to his inability to maintain his lead against the Ducati bikes during the sprint race. The specific reasons for his struggles are not detailed, but the overtaking maneuver by Marquez is highlighted as a key moment.
