WATCH: On this day, Historic exchange happened between Lewis Hamilton and Valentino Rossi

In the Motorsports world, Lewis Hamilton and Valentino Rossi are the two legends who won more than five world titles. Lewis Hamilton has won 7 Formula 1 world titles and Valentino Rossi has won 8 championships. Both have a huge fan base around the world, and many took up racing after seeing these legends achieve all impossible records in their respective categories, but what if these legends join together and race?

It will be historic, and it happened at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain. In 2019 the Italian and the British racers met together in Spain, swapped their seats and tried different machines for the first time. Driving a Formula 1 car is not new for Valentino Rossi and he went very close to becoming an F1 driver for Ferrari and could have been a teammate for another GOAT Michael Schumacher for the 2005 Formula 1 season.

Lewis Hamilton always admired MotoGP and especially Rossi for all his achievements. He met Valentino at the Valencia circuit and tested his Yamaha MotoGP bike while Rossi tested Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes car. Rossi first explained Lewis about the controls of his MotoGP bike and Lewis listened to it very carefully. Then Lewis accompanied Rossi to his garage and showed his car to him. There he explained the technicalities to Rossi.

The Italian wore a race suit and took the Mercedes car around the Valencia circuit. It is a well-known track for him as he raced there many times with his MotoGP bike. The British driver watched Rossi taking his car for a spin and gave a thumbs up. Next, it's Lewis Hamilton’s time to test-ride the MotoGP bike.

The biggest surprise was Lewis did some corners the same as real MotoGP riders with ease with a maximum turning radius. Vale also joined him with another bike, and Lewis, followed the MotoGP world champion and made some moves around the track. Then the Greatest Racers went one last time together, with Lewis driving the Yamaha bike and Rossi driving the Mercedes car. After testing, they hugged and appreciated each other for helping and took a team photo together.
