    He said:
    "MotoGP is just so cool, much more exciting to watch, I would say, just because it's closer racing."
    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.

    I completely agree with him, just look at the last one in spain, it was a scorcher till finish. The GP is a more visceral dog race then F1 any day.

        Isle of Man is way much better than all of them, it needs some serious ba**s of steel to ride a bike at 185mph in cross-county roads.

          Someone need to get him out of Formula 1. What a shame that this driver comments on something which gets him his bread.
          Not to forget this guy brought the Twat "JB" to Monaco, after race celebration in which he took LH's Champagne and drank it.
          Formula 1 for this guy atleast is becoming worse! Take away the Mercedes and give him a Manor, he won't be able to surpass Pascal Wehrelein! Lol

            The TT races are all of another level, Even the Motogp rider respect the races, the tire mfgt make new range of tires for these races, the bump the road the rubber has to handle is totally different as compared to Motogp which are in a controlled environment.

              True that, I am just comparing the driver skills there.

                Guys, this is an old news. It dates back to March. I would like to post some updates to this issue:-

                1. Mercedes gives permission to Lewis for testing out a MotoGP bike.

                2. Rossi is incredible, and MotoGP is more exciting than F1- Lewis Hamilton.

                3. Yamaha Racer Valentino Rossi offers Lewis a MotoGP test. Yamaha boss also thinks its a great idea.
                Valentino Rossi offers Lewis Hamilton a Moto GP test


                In other words, all involved seem to be supporting the idea of the test, if not anything beyond it. But I'm not sure what progress happened so far.
                Please note that Lewis Hamilton mostly rode a 450cc on which he has reasonably good skill level. Now only time can tell what that results will be, w.r.t. MotoGP.


                My opinion: Although, I am not biased, but Lewis' statement that MotoGP is more exciting to watch may hold true subjectively.

                In cars you only see results, of some event which may be physical, mental, technical, anything. You basically just see objects with men inside them.. In MotoGP, every crash, gesture, move, rivalry, etc is visible on the track! For example, the Rossi-Marquez "knee" incident last year.

                Irrespective of what I think, Lewis is being honest. What's wrong in that?

                Tomorrow, Modi will say that this country has not achieved its true potential, then people will badmouth him saying that he can't speak good words about his own country... irrespective of the fact that, what he spoke is the truth.
                Will anyone speak the truth, if we ourselves expect sugarcoated gift-wrapped rubbish from them?

                I never encourage people to give sugarcoated, PR-approved speeches. I encourage people to be honest so that we can reach helpful conclusions faster. If his future is in MotoGP, then let's get done with it as soon as possible.
