Hamilton accepts MotoGP star Marquez's challenge for head-to-head battle

Lewis Hamilton would relish the opportunity to face MotoGP star Marc Marquez in a head-to-head battle following a playful challenge from the Spaniard.

Like Hamilton, Marquez has won five world titles at the pinnacle of his profession, and looks set to add another to his name this season. Ahead of Moto GP's race at Silverstone at the weekend Marquez, who tested Toro Rosso's F1 car last year, said he would love to do something with Hamilton.

"Of course! It would be interesting,' Marquez told the Daily Mail when asked about the prospect of doing something with the reigning F1 champion.
