Well, I hope for Guenther's sake she's not giving K-Mag any until after the season ends. He's definitely going to lose his edge with that kind of distraction!!

You assume he has an edge!!!

Norris reaction about keeping Ricciardo in his mirrows as long as he can. "You mean like, forever?" 
Just hilarious, that humor while fighting on track. Kid has a calm head.

Lewis Hamilton would relish the opportunity to face MotoGP star Marc Marquez in a head-to-head battle following a playful challenge from the Spaniard.

Like Hamilton, Marquez has won five world titles at the pinnacle of his profession, and looks set to add another to his name this season. Ahead of Moto GP's race at Silverstone at the weekend Marquez, who tested Toro Rosso's F1 car last year, said he would love to do something with Hamilton.

"Of course! It would be interesting,' Marquez told the Daily Mail when asked about the prospect of doing something with the reigning F1 champion. "Face-to-face, first an F1 car and then a motorbike because I know he is riding.

"I speak to him by social media sometimes and I know he rides a bike and rides really well. So I look forward to, at a minimum, meeting him. We were very close last year but we had compromises and couldn't make it work."

Hamilton responded to the challenge on Instagram, posting a screengrab of the headline with his own caption: "@marcmarquez93 let's go bro! Can't wait to meet and ride together sometime."

Hamilton has shown a keen interest in motorbikes previously, conducting a Superbike test with Yamaha last year and attending this year's season-opening Moto GP race in Qatar. At that event Hamilton joked he would have to let Mercedes' F1 title sponsor, Petronas, let him ride on one of its MotoGP bikes. He also owns a custom MV Augusta, which he often rides into the paddock on F1 race weekends.

Hamilton might well have several options for any kind of MotoGP demos. The Yamaha Moto GP team this year confirmed it has looked into how to get the British driver into a ride swap with one of motorbike racing's biggest icons, Valentino Rossi, in the near future.

I would always think the biker would beat the driver in a Bike and Standard car race (each trying both forms of racing). I think a biker would struggle to drive an F1 car and for sure no driver is going to come close to riding a bike the way a Moto GP rider does. Both require huge amounts of talent, skill and bravery. I never want to see Hamilton on a bike its way too dangerous, I really admire the bike riders they are so much closer to death every race.

Whilst it would be mega to watch these two alfa's fight it out on bikes & cars I cant help thinking Lewis would be on a loser with this, if I remember right he was around 7 sec's a lap off the superbike boys. (but faster than the average track guys, according to the superbike riders) 

I cant see him being 7 sec's faster than Marc on 4 wheels, hell Papa would like to be closer than 7 secs Haha. Tongue  (in my dreams)

Marc has also had... is it two drives in an F1 car? a superbike whilst mega quick is not the monster a Moto GP bike is & Lewis has no experience of these, BLOODY good fun for them though! not sure Mercedes would like it either.

These two the best driver/rider on the planet, highly paid super stars with super models throwing themselves at them, am I jealous much...….. hell yeah!!!  Cool

With Lando in an angle brace, hope he took the opportunity to get some tips on how to race with a broken body.

My previous sig was obsolete, McLaren ain't disappointing Heshy no more.

Lewis Hamilton has given his backing to a new chain of fast foot restaurants to promote “plant-based” eating.
