Rossi is at it again...

[jverdoes]

He is back at Ferrari F1 testing in Valencia.
Well, this time things didn't go too smoothly compared to his previous outings. He lasted 1 lap which ended in the gravel trap...
The track was pretty damp though...
He must be getting bored winning nearly every MotoGP race.
If 2006 is gonna be a repeat of 2005, I think he's gonna upgrade to 4 wheels pretty soon...
This will definitely spice things up at F1.

Oooh dear, that's got to be embarrasing.

He'll be out again tomorrow though, and this test's with the rest of the F1 teams so hopefully we'll get to see how he compares.

its still early days... I'm sure when he has a few training sessions under the belt he's gonna be a tough customer for the current F1 drivers.
Hopefully the track will dry out a bit for him to get his confidence back.

i dunno i think if he did decide to leave Moto GP it would be good in some ways because for most of the 2005 season he started and just cleared off into the distance and that was that but if he leaves then give other people a chance to get on the podium. Although Sete give him a run for his money in some races. On the other hand if he left it would be a great loss to the sport. I think he is a good rolemodel.

Much better track session for Rossi in the Ferrari. Finished 11th but only 1.5 seconds behind Alonso in 1st position.
Give him a few more sessions and time to set-up the car to his liking and he'll be in the lower best 10 soon.
Unfortunately he's on Bridgestones too...

Amusing if both Rossi and Biaggi go to F1 next year, Biaggi will never get a break from Rossi

[Dom]

That is very impressive, especially considering he's in the 2004 car. Maybe he could pull it off in F1 after all.

Yeah... Imagine Biaggi racing for Honda F1. Wonder if Camel would try to sponser the team...
If Rossi one day races for Ferrari, think they'll drop Marlboro for Go!!!!!!!.
