Lewis Hamilton’s ‘secret test’ revealed by Toto Wolff years before Ferrari switch Toto Wolff has revealed that Lewis Hamilton was part of a secret superbike test that the F1 star tried hiding from the Mercedes boss.
However, given his natural flair for the sport, Hamilton also had the potential to be a MotoGP star, even if he did keep his test plans from Wolff.
Wolff quipped about Hamilton being "the annoying kid in school that does everything right" but was pleasantly surprised when the racing legend gifted him a rare MV Augusta bike.
The then-Mercedes star tested a 2019 Yamaha YZR-M1, while Rossi got behind the wheel of Hamilton's 2017 title-winning F1 car.
They went testing in Jerez with my head of strategy, who is also a keen motorbike guy and one of the engineers," Wolff said on the Armchair Expert podcast.
