Rossi flirts with F1 rumours (again)

VALENTINO ROSSI has been chatting away to the Italian press, this time fanning the flames of the F1 drive story once again.

The eight times World Champion has said that if the factory decides on a third car in F1 for 2011 then he would be seriously considered for the drive.

He said: “They would have to think of me for the drive. For the time being I have a certainty, next season I will be in MotoGP with Yamaha, in 2011 we will see.

“I have not decided what I will do after that, I have some options that are more pressing.

 “With the Ferrari the plan it was very defined in 2006. I would have become the test driver and then the driver in the race. But then I was not prepared to leave the world that is my life. Over two years I do not know now how things will be - to drive the Ferrari is a dream for anyone.

“I did not want to leave the MotoGP after the fall in Valencia that cost me the title. I do not mourn the choice but my relationship with Stefano Domenicali, the boss of Ferrari in F1, has continued.”

It’s going to happen people, Rossi’s off to F1 in 2011. And then we’ll see what the MotoGP lot do.
