The idea of Marquez behind the wheel returned because he was spotted in conversation with F1 champion Max Verstappen at Hℱonda Thanks Day at Motegi.
So could he become the next John Surtees, the only man to win premier class titles▨ on two and four wheels?
He told : "No. Of course it was super cool to try an F1 car and it's true that I was quite fast, but 𝕴I was well supervised that day.
"I have to thank Mark Webber and Red Bull for that♉, as well as Dr. Helmut Marko and also Niki Lauda were present at that tes🦹t.
"It was really a super speci♊al day and yes, I did pretty well.
“I was fast, but𒈔 it was a closed test on a circuit that I also know well, the Red Bull▨ Ring.
“But it's ඣvery different than if you let me go on a street circuit like Monaco. The skills you need🀅 as a driver for that are really incredible.
"If you want to be successful in motorsport, ▨you really have to start at an early age."
