Rossi the Next Ferrari F1 Driver?
The answer is most likely “No”. But the fact remains that MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi is without doubt a competent F1 driver, and the last week’s event is another proof for his versatile driving skills. Ferrari offered him an opportunity to experience the F2008 on Mugello circuit, and accordingly Rossi lived up to expectations. During the two-day event, he impressed spectators with incredible lap times that are exclusive for top F1 drivers yet this doesn’t mean an imminent transition to La Scuderia. However, this experience brought moments of joy to the Italian motorcycle racer.
“The car is fantastic and all in all it was a good test.I want to thank the guys from the team and obviously [Ferrari president] Luca di Montezemolo and [team principal] Stefano Domenicali, who were really committed over the last two days.I felt like a real Formula 1 driver.” he added
