Lewis Hamilton on the handlebars of a Yamaha R1 at the Jerez circuit

On the sidelines of the last WorldSBK tests in Jerez, the F1 world champion – who has so far worked with MV Agusta – turned on a Yamaha R1 following the advice of Sam Lowes and Michael van der Mark.

Despite a minor crash on Saturday, Lewis Hamilton seems to have enjoyed his weekend riding a Yamaha R1, guided by the brand’s official riders in 2019 on the Jerez circuit (Spain).

"The F1 Grand Prix season over, Lewis Hamilton with his fifth world championship title in his pocket told us that he was going to relax and have a good time", explains his sponsor Monster, pretending to have imagined "a beach of fine sand by a private lake "…

Except that the Mercedes rider, who has never hidden his passion for motorcycles (we remember in particular this and this) preferred to take the direction of Andalusia during the in Jerez.

, it is on Yamaha that the Briton turned to ride with Lowes and Van der Mark.

Conclusion: "two crazy days on the circuit of Jerez", exclaims Hamilton while Van der Mark is delighted with these "few brilliant days on the circuit with the champion".
