yes he's been out in a F1 car again but i cant find any info how he did!

anyone seen anything?
 
The season ends and 10 minutes later he's winding us up with the thought he'll leave the bikes!

I found this

Valentino Rossi was once again in action, testing for the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro team today. The MotoGP World Champion ran 40 laps in an F2004 at Fiorano on Wednesday a fwith astest time of 0'59.21. Rossi then ran 18 laps at Mugello on Thursday, lapping around the 58 second mark.

However I guess you saw his 15th to 3rd last race? He's brilliant. I did something like that filtering traffic the other day, 15th position at the traffic lights and made it up to 1st, if only Rossi was as good as me.

2006 he will drive for ferrari i believe. mind you the people on that f1 site you posted dont appear to like him much, i should imagine they would feel somewhat red faced if he managed to pull off a few wins or more...

money wise, m shumie must earn 3 times that of rossi...a big carrot indeed. he has proved his ability on bikes now i think he should move to f1. do we know how far away his lap times were from 2004 as this was an old car he was driving so equvalent cars times should be used?



15th to 3rd...yea was a corker..but he cooked the tyres doing it.
 
2007 more likely as Schuey and Massa are contracted for 06, maybe hell get a test driver position first. Adrian
 
Well I think Schumie earns 90mil a year with sponsorship? Rossi gets about 7-8 to ride + sponsorship, so nothing like it. Can't blame him :)

pah, i wouldn't get of bed for that.......:eek:
 
i agree russ but must add , excluding all and any blue oyster bar activities

sean does a really good village people , i bet hell turn a whirl for 90 million
 
For 90mill I could endure the blue oyster experience and with my 90mill spend about 1 of it on hynotheraphy and reconstructive surgery so I'd forget all about it :)
 
i think you would be better opting for a le bottomy

but then 90 million is one hell of a chunk of dough and if its only dancing then i guess its ok , just dont go into the carsy
 
90mill is a phenomenal amount, would set me, my family, and all future generations up forever (in theory), and I could have a Bugatti Veyron ;)
 
okay russ if its the bugatti veyron i'll escort you to the blue oyster what do you say 45 million each and a complimentary veyron
