They are MotoGP riders getting a 'test drive', not a car test....

Yes, I know. I was just wondering why they put them in old F1 machinery, maybe they feared that Marquez will be quicker than Hamilton or Vettel in actual cars

FIA rules on in-season testing limit the cars any team can use, cars younger than 2 year old are not allowed (I think).
For one off chances like this they normally use the older 'demo cars' that are used at Goodwood, Corporate days and other publicity events.

OK Rob, thanks for info. I dont watch modern F1 so i dont know their silly rules.
