On December 9, the practically best representatives of two different worlds linked by motorsport met on the Valencia track. They were not alone. They were accompanied by their cars. And one had to lend it to the other for laps around the circuit. We thought we had seen everything about this exchange between Valentino Rossi and Lewis Hamilton. But the sensations seen from the inside were missing. That's done !
With Valentino Rossi there was a staff Yamaha and in the company of Lewis Hamilton we noted the presence of Mercedes AMG Petronas logistics. The latter represented by James vowles was amazed by the adaptability of the forty-year-old biker… “ Valentino's approach was very meticulous » explained the technician. “ First he did the basic things to get the car where he wanted it to be on track and check it, then he intuitively braked later and brought greater speed into the corners. It's very impressive to see. »
« It was the sign of a true master who has the situation under control and who gradually finds his limit » adds the person concerned. “ During the day he showed his strengths. Like the ability to brake late and bring speed into the corners, he's really good at it. »
And he ends: “ one wonders what it would have been like with more time. »
