MotoGP world champion Fabio Quartararo says he is working on a test in a Mercedes F1 car
The Yamaha rider shares Monster Energy and Petronas sponsorship with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and joined the team for the French Grand Prix weekend at Paul Ricard in July.
It was reported during that weekend that Quartararo would be completing a test with the team later this year, but he says it is “not something planned yet.” He also spent the day with Hamilton earlier this week, with social media images showing the pair windsurfing, but insists they “were not talking about racing.”
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s MotoGP British Grand Prix, Quartararo said: “About Mercedes, it’s something I’m working to, it’s not something planned yet.“I’ve been to the simulator, I’ve been in the car but I’ve never had a chance to test it. “I spent a really nice day with Lewis [Hamilton] but we were not talking about racing, just having fun on the surf and the jet ski, it was a good day.”
