Three time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton said that MotoGP is more exciting than Formula One and also expressed his desire to ride MotoGP bike. He said this in a press conference in Spain during F1 pre-season testing at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
He said: “MotoGP is just so cool, much more exciting to watch, I would say, just because it’s closer racing.”
“I really need to try a MotoGP bike. I’m dying to at least get on the back of one.”
“That would be so cool. I just won’t tell my team that I’m doing it!”
Lewis Hamilton is not the only F1 driver to have a passion for MotoGP, both Michael Schumacher and Mark Webber are huge fans of the sport, in fact Schumacher have raced in the German domestic series.
In October last year, MV Agusta realeased a video on their YouTube channel featuring Lewis Hamilton doing a burnout on customized Brutale 800 Dragster RR. Before that he was seen riding an MV Agusta Brutale in Monza when F1 was there in September last year.
