Quartararo reflected on his performance at the Austrian Grand Prix where he had a brake issue.
"We need to check, the team is working on it because it's not possible that during all last year and all this year, just in this race I have no brakes for the first time," Quartararo said.
"It was better to happen in free practice than in the race of course. But the team is looking for a solution - even me, I'm looking for a solution for the braking.
"I understand nothing about mechanical issues but I'm looking to help the team."
Yahama are sitting at the top of Manufacturers' Championship standings - 14 points above their closest rivals, Ducati.
Ducati and KTM are placed second and third respectively on the standings after four races.
