    F1 & Valentino Rossi

    There were rumours floating around that Rossi might make a switch to F1 next year. This became even bigger when the announcement of Jaguar leaving and the possibility of a team such as Ferrari having to take on a 3rd car, and who better to have then an Italian national hero as Ferrari's third driver (this is what the Italian press thought as least)? Ferrari Boss Luca di Montezemolo backed the idea even. Rossi had denied these claims and said he will be with Yamaha in Moto GP until at least the end of 2005. However he did express his intrest in racing in F1. He also tested with the Ferrari team at Fiorano and produced some impressive times. So my question is do you think he'll make the jump into F1 in 2006, and do you like the idea of him doing so?

    Infomation is from crash.net

    I voted yes and would like to see him in F1. But once he tried a rally car and ended up in the bushes. F1 would be an interesting vertical move from MotoGP. It would bring some new audience to F1 as well.

    By all accounts he was good in practice and to give the guy some slack, the Welsh tracks are some of the slippiest surfaces WRC competes on. LOTS of big names in rallying end up off in them - Colin being famous for doing it regularly
