It had been planned for weeks. Lewis Hamilton and Valentino Rossi to swap equipment and drive each other's machines on the Valencia circuit. Fans were looking forward to seeing the action, but during the day, the circuit was completely shut off to fans and no media was allowed in. 

The Italian media outlet, Autosprint, believes that the sponsor, Monster, will use the footage to make a documentary about the day and the two racers. There are thoughts that a short series could be created just before the Christmas break although nothing has been confirmed. 

The media were not present at the day and all people saw was Hamilton leave the circuit with a giant smile on his face. 

Corriere dello Sport is reporting that the documentary will be pay-per-view, but once again nothing has been confirmed. We will have to wait and see what happens!
