Thread: Rossi could race for Ferrari

Legendary multiple MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi has confessed that he and Ferrari 'talked' about the possibility of him replacing the struggling Luca Badoer for the Italian Grand Prix – before concluding that it would not have been a 'logical' move.

Rossi's name has been linked to Ferrari for a while, and paddock whispers suggest that – at still just 30 – there remains time for arguably the two most famous names in motor racing to join forces with one another. The Italian has tested for the Scuderia on a number of occasions in recent years, but has always stopped short of committing to anything concrete – and though he was tempted by the latest proposal, the Urbino native reflected, ultimately it was not the right choice to make.

Rossi should remain and race with his bikes. He is not suitable for a Formula 1 car. There is a very big difference between a car and a bike. I guess he would always be the last if he raced a formula 1 car.
