Lewis Hamilton spoke to Britain’s Mirror newspaper about his aims and ambitions outside of Formula 1, including his MotoGP™ dreams.

Double Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has revealed that his first love was two, not four, wheel racing. “When I was a kid I wanted to race motorbikes,” said Hamilton. “When my dad bought me my first go-kart I actually wanted a motorbike.” Despite this Hamilton stuck to four wheels and is now on track for his third world title.

He does still hold some dreams of two-wheel racing however, “I’d also love to test a MotoGP bike just to see what it’s like. Naturally I’d know the lines but I’d love to know if I could even do it,” said Hamilton.
