Lewis has said that he has been a lover of MotoGP and Valentino for years.”
He added:”It was his desire to ride on track together with Valentino And also to have an M1 to be ridden by the experience one day, and he got both fantasies at precisely the same moment! It was fantastic to see that even a six-time Formula 1 world champion who has attained so many items, can realise a dream in a special occasion in this way.
“We’re also Very happy for Valentino, that had yet another chance to examine himself. He clearly thoroughly enjoyed himselfand we heard very positive comments from the Mercedes team. Overall, I think that it was a great, unique occasion.”
