Lewis Hamilton said he wants "100 percent" to ride a MotoGP bike and is hoping for more time on two wheels to be ready for the challenge.
The British five-time Formula One champion has made no secret of his love for motorbikes and attended MotoGP's season opener in Qatar last weekend as a guest of the Petronas-backed Yamaha team.
"Fierce, insane speeds and unforgiving, this sport is phenomenal," the Mercedes driver tweeted afterwards. "What an experience! How about you guys let me ride next time?"
"I watch it every weekend it's on," he added. "Even when I'm on a grand prix weekend, I'm jumping out of my meetings before and after qualifying so I can watch the (MotoGP) qualifying."
