Hamilton insists F1 should welcome Marquez

The four-time Moto GP World Champion Mark Marquez should be welcomed into F1 according to Lewis Hamilton. Marquez drove his first F1 car a week ago and said he enjoyed driving. 

There’s still no true indication of Marquez making the switch, but Hamilton thinks it’s worthwhile offering him the place. 

"To be honest I never even knew that [Marc Marquez] drove a car and that he had an interest,” said Hamilton in an interview on GP fans.

"It’s a lot easier for them to come here, that’s for sure. They can practice and practice. If I was to go and ride their bike, most likely, I’m going to break something pretty early on! At least one thing, and then it puts you out for a while.

"But it’s exciting and we’d always welcome a legend like him.”
