MotoGP champion Rossi sees future in rallying not F1
|
|
Valentino Rossi has told the New York Times he is committed to MotoGP despite links with Ferrari and Formula 1.
This week, Ferrari confirmed the the reigning MotoGP world champion Rossi would drive their F2008 car later this month but he said he does not see his future in F1. "When I finish with bikes, I might want to see some seasons in rallying," said the 30-year-old, who has one year left on his contract with the Yamaha team. "F1 would've been easier but when I finish MotoGP, I'll be too old for F1." On Wednesday, Ferrari team chairman Luca di Montezemolo confirmed that Rossi would be driving one of their cars in Barcelona, as a reward for winning his ninth world title last season. He also mentioned the prospect of running a third Ferrari in F1, and when asked if it might be driven by Rossi, he said "Never say never". But the Yamaha rider's comments seem to rule out the possibility of anything long-term happening with Ferrari. "I would consider shifting to cars, probably rallying, after that before I finally decide to take it easy." Rossi has competed in several rally events in the past, most recently in November when he finished second in the Monza Rally. |
