Hamilton to make MotoGP switch? Wait a minute...

This time last year, he was retiring, now Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is leaving Mercedes to take up a career in MotoGP! Did you make sure to check the date? Yep, it's the Briton's latest HILARIOUS April Fool's Day prank. Sorry if we scared you!

Though a star of four wheels, Hamilton is renowned for being a fan of two-wheeled machines, regularly sharing imges of him on motorcycles across social media.

He has previously arrived at grands prix on two wheels and you can even buy a MV Agusta F4 LH44 - craftily named after him as you might notice...

Could the likes of Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez have a new rival to think about?

After much thought, I am making the switch to two wheels ????????? ???? Happy Easter guys!

It doesn't look like it any time soon.

What will Hamilton go for next year for an April Fool gag: Getting a flat-share with Nico Rosberg? Giving up every pole position won with 'party mode'? We can't wait to find out!

Riding a motorcycle is an art form. I have nothing but respect for those competing at the top of their game in this field. It's such a rush. Stay tuned for something epic... @calcrutchlow ???????????????? #F4LH44 #MVAgusta #dainesecrew #Ambassador ????leoiannelli @mvagustamotor
