Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton and MotoGP champion Marc Marquez may get a head-to-head showdown on bikes soon.

It started when Marquez said during an interview with the Daily Mail that he welcomes a race with Hamilton. “Of course! It would be interesting,” he said. “Face-to-face, first an F1 car and then a motorbike because I know he (Hamilton) is riding.”

Marquez continued, “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 (to a race) last year but we had compromises and couldn’t make it work.”

Hamilton has replied to Marquez’s “challenge” by replying “Let’s go bro! Can’t wait to meet and ride together sometime” in an Instagram post.

The five-time F1 champ is an avid rider and has tried his hand at riding the WorldSBK PATA Yamaha YZF-R1 alongside Alex Lowes and Michael van der Mark.

Apart from that, he is the ambassador for MV Agusta who built the F4 LH44 and Brutale 800RR LH44 as tributes to the champ.

Now, Marquez’s team Repsol Honda has also issued a challenge to Hamilton in a Twitter post saying, “So Mr. Lewis Hamilton we hear you’re up for a bit of a challenge?”

We’ll see what transpires next. It was reported that the deal didn’t go through the last time due to sponsorship since Marquez is sponsored by Red Bull while Hamilton is sponsored by Monster Energy.
