To mark the one-year anniversary of the unique ride swap between seven-time MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi and then six time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton at ꦍ💦Valencia last December, Monster Energy has released the following behind-the-scenes video.

The film not only features track action and interviews with Rossi and Hamilton but also conversations between Hamilton and Franco Morbidelli fr꧑om the previous day, when the Petronas Yamaha r🍒ider 'coached' the Englishman on an R1.

"I think you should go more forward with [the position of] your head and at the same time you will go more outside [of the bike]," replies Morbidelli, wheꦜn Hamilton says he doesn't feel li🌊ke he's getting his body far enough from the bike.

"What a day. Thanks for having the patience with me," Hamilton ad🎃ds.

"I saw some videos, you are a little bit old style," Rossi jokes the following morning, before point꧂ing out differences between Hamilton and Morbidelli from pictures the previous day.

"For sure you will like this [M1] more, it'✱s similar to the R1 but faster, lighter, bra🙈kes better, turns better, but the base is the same."

Meanwhile, Rossi admits to being "a little bit nervous" at driving the now seven-time✅ world champion's F1 car. After his first run, th🔯e Italian jokes: "It's like you are in a washing machine!"

Members of t🌠he Mercedes team also give their thoughts on how Rossi and Hamilton got on...

“It’s been unbelievable. For me and for L🎐ewis it’s a great emotion. I feel like a Formula 1 driver for one day! The car was just fantastic - a great honour to drive!” Rossi said at the end of the day.

“I’ve always been fascinated by bi𓃲kes, and𝓡 how MotoGP can find these crazy limits of speed and what a man and a motorcycle can actually do," said Hamilton. "This whole experience has just been absolutely incredible.

"Even though I’ve been riding bikes for the last couple of years, this was something else. Just to see the legend on track💟 in front of me, and to be riding his bike was out of thisꦿ world.”
