Hamilton and Rossi are good friends, and Hamilton has often praised the Italian legend as his idol, with the pair both managing historic levels of success in their respective motorsports.

In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Rossi discussed his shock F1 test with Ferrari back in 2006, and Hamilton's move to the team.

During this discussion, Rossi also unveiled the details from a meeting with Hamilton, where the F1 champion apparently scolded him.

"Beautiful. Dinner and confidences. The next day, I arrived late. I was changing, he entered the motorhome and it was Hamilton dressed as Hamilton.

"He pointed to the clock: the usual Italians, cappuccino, brioche… He scolded me. He smiled. Not completely though.

"Sure, it's a beautiful thing. Seeing him there, in the red overalls, excites me too. I really want to understand how he does it. And how Leclerc does it."
