Lewis Hamilton's performance in his maiden test 🅠outing on a MotoGP bike was "brilliant" according to nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi following their ride swap 🍬in Valencia on Monday.

Six-time Formula 1 world champion Hamilton linked up 🌌with Rossi through mutual sponsor Monster to sample a MotoGP ♊bike for the first time at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo on Monday, jumping on the 2019-spec Yamaha MotoGP YZR-M1 bike.

It added to Hamilton's grow♓ing experience on two wheels, having completed a test on a Yamaha Superbike at Jerez in December 2018 - only thi꧃s time around, he had Rossi alongside him on-track through the test.

“It was so cool to be out on track and see Valentino ahead of me on the same bike," said Ha🗹milton, who won high praise from The Doctor.

"Technically, Valencia is a hard track and today was windy so at one point I thought 🥃it would be difficult for Lewis to continue," said Rossi.

"But he was brilliant on the bike and his position on t꧂he M1 was great. I think he hꦇad loads of fun which is the main thing."

Hamilton was also on hand to see Rossi complete his first F1 test in almost a decade, as the Italian drove the 2017 F1 championship-winnin🦩g Mercedes W08 car.

“It’s so awesome to see a legend like Valentino in the car. I’m excited for him, for discovering the car for the first time - it reminds me of my first 🎶time in a F1 car," H💛amilton said.

ܫ"When you s𒉰ee all the team around you, it’s just a different animal.”
