MotoGP's Valentino Rossi has confirmed that a machine swap with F1 world champion Lewis𓄧 Hamilton 🅠is in the pipeline.

The plan is for the Italian to try Hamilton's Mercedes, wi🍬th the En𝔉glishman taking to the same track with Rossi's Yamaha.

Rossi has made several appearances in a Ferrari gra🅠nd prix car in the past, even🎃 briefly flirting with a switch to F1 in 2006.

Hamilton has taken part in two-wheel tracജk days, including with the Yamaha WorldSBK team - saying afterwards "I’ve always loved two wheels more than four" - and attended this year's Qatar MotoGP as a guest of Petronas.

"Ye꧅s, we are trying to arrange this swap with Hamilton, it would be something fantastic," Rossi said at Sunday's Japane🐓se Grand Prix.

"They are trying to organise a day w💟hen Lewiꦍs tries my M1 and I try his Mercedes. We hope to make it happen, it would be very cool. To drive an F1 car is always great."

Du🥀e to the obvious risks, the swap could only take place after the end of their racing seasons. MotoGP concludes at Valencia on November 17, with the final F1 race being held in Abu Dhabi on November 29. 

Abu Dhabi is a rumoured venue for the Rossi-Hamilton exchange since F1 teams will be&n🧜bsp;st𝓰aying on for a test session after the season finale, while Rossi is due to take part in a sports car race at the same circuit on December 14. It would also avoid cold or wet weather in Europe.

Hamilton and Rossi are both sponsored by Monster, while Petronas is title sponsor of the Mercedes F1 team and also the new Sepཧang satellite Yamaha MotoGP team.

Rossi, 40, has won seven titles in m🏅otorcycling's premier-class, the mo🌸st recent in 2009. 

Hamilton, 34, is on course to win his sixth F1 title, but said as far back as 2015 that he'd "love to test a MotoGP bi𝕴ke."
