Valentino Rossi out in MotoGp, drops the bomb: "Exchange close with Hamilton's F1 Mercedes"

"We've been talking about it for a while." Valentino Rossi drops the bomb at the end of the Japan GP in Motegi's MotoGP, who saw him leave the scene a few laps from the end. Yet another disappointment for the Yamaha, but the 40-year-old myth of Tavullia already thinks of something else. Specifically, the Mercedes of the F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton. "It would be a beautiful thing – explains the Doctor -. They are trying to organize a day in which he experiences mine M1 and I his Mercedes, we hope to make it. Driving an F1 car is always pretty cool".

The project could go through thanks to Monster, a common sponsor of Rossi and the British 5-time world champion. It would not be a debut on an F1 for Rossi that has already performed several tests with the Ferrari. This time the nine-time world champion would ride on the Mercedes, a single-seater that won the last six constructor titles. Even for Hamilton, it would not be an absolute debut on a motorcycle on the track. In recent months, the Mercedes driver has had several sessions with the Yamaha R1, but it would be the first time on a MotoGP.
