Red Bull will conduct a private test with MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez. The Spaniard is scheduled to swap two wheels for four next month after the Austrian Grand Prix. Marquez will be joined by compatriot Dani Pedrosa also.

Both Honda riders will be given the chance to get behind the wheel of a Red Bull F1 car for the first time ever.

They aren't the only MotoGP riders to get an opportunity to drive a Formula One car however. Valentino Rossi famously tested with Ferrari over a decade ago whilst rival Jorge Lorenzo was given the opportunity by Mercedes, driving the W05 at Silverstone back in 2016.
