Rossi and F1.... (Inc. Valencia Test Times)

aardvark · Post by **aardvark** » Fri Jan 27, 2006 11:40 pm

MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi will face his toughest challenge yet as a Ferrari Formula One test driver when he returns to four-wheel action for the Italian team at Valencia next week - alongside seven-times F1 world champion Michael Schumacher, the German's new team-mate Felipe Massa and other members of the 2006 F1 grid.

Until now, Rossi's three previous F1 tests have taken place in private and with no other cars on track with whom to compare lap times - but the 'public' Valencia test should make Rossi's potential much more clear, although the seven-times motorcycling world champion is expected to be driving a different spec machine to Schumacher and Massa.

Good luck to him, he must be getting a bit *bored* on the scooters ?

I don't think he'll go to F1

I think it's just a case of

ferrari: hey rossi, you wanna driva our car
rossi: err yeh sure why not.

rossi to jb later: man it rocks being famous, people keep throwing expensive toys at me!

Nah on a serious note

I think Rossi is good enough to cross over to F1
would Ferrari have him in a heart beat

What an world champion italian in a Ferrari ....... Ferrari could pay for the whole year with just clothing sales
Sponsors would line up for a square inch of space on the car
Money would fall from the sky

you get the idea
