Valentino Rossi takes on 2 and 4 wheels

Jan 29
2010

With Rossi’s Yamaha contract expected to finish at the end of 2010, could we see one of the most renowned men on two wheels take a place at the podium of four wheels?

At the moment the Formula One the spotlight is surrounding three big drivers’. Micheal Schumacher who competed in 2010 but not in 2009, Kimi Raikkonen who competed in 2009 but not in 2010 and Valentino Rossi who has never completed in F1.

Rossi  to take on F1?

It is true that Rossi has only ever driven an F1 6 times but has made his mark in more than one page of motorcycle history.  Can he write a page in the history book of F1? There has only ever been one person to make such a feat – John Surtees.

Lets put everything into perspective. On the 20 and 21 of January at the Catalan circuit of Montmelo. Rossi was given the identical car Kimi Raikkonen used in 2008 to set the circuit’s record of 1:21.67. On day one, Rossi completed 68 laps, added over 300 kilometres to the odometer and his fastest time was 1:25.200. Day is what we are interested in, Rossi clocking 1:21.900, which compares to the fastest time for 2009 of 1:22.762. Bear in mind that Rossi hasn’t driven an F1 since November 2008.

Look out for the F1 season of 2011.  Schumacher will have settled, Raikkonen will be back and we’ll have Rossi to watch. Well let’s hope so.
