MotoGP champion Fabio Quartararo wants to follow in the footsteps of Valentino Rossi and other former riders in the premier class of motorcycling and test a Formula 1.
The Frenchman was in Abu Dhabi this weekend for the final race of the season after trying out the Mercedes simulator in August. Quartararo didn’t hide his desire to test an F1, as he told Sky Sports:
– I put a lot of pressure on Mercedes to test one of their cars. When I tried the simulator before Spa it didn’t go well, I hope I can try again next year.
Quartararo then wants to join a small group of MotoGP riders who have tried F1 prototypes, such as Valentino Rossi, Marc Márquez, Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa.
