VIDEO: Hamilton, Rossi ride swap footage leaked

The first footage of Lewis Hamilton and Valentino Rossi's ride swap has emerged online.

The pair have 15 world championships between them, with Hamilton having added a sixth Formula 1 title to his collection in 2019.

The year has seen several rumours regarding the ride swap, set to be enabled by energy drink company Monster, which sponsors both Hamilton and Rossi.

The pair met in Valencia this week, with Rossi getting to ride in one of Mercedes' title-winning cars, while Hamilton took to a Yamaha bike belonging to 'The Doctor'.

The short edit of the on-track action shows Rossi getting familiar with the Silver Arrow, with Hamilton nodding in approval as the 41-year-old blasts past on the pit straight.

Hamilton and Rossi were also filmed touring the circuit together - Hamilton on two wheels, Rossi on four - for the perfect poster shot!
