Rossi to F1??!?!

shravan316 · 16th May 2005, 22:03

Hey guys,
I was watching MotoGP yesterday, when i heard the commentators say that there was a speculation claiming Rossi may switch to F1 in 2007... So, i did a bit of search on the net and came up with this
and this..

Now what do you guys have to say about this??

Ouch... I wonder just how good he would be...? Hmmm... but yeah, chances are that he would join Scuderia Ferrari...

Well for starters he was "only" a second of Schumi's pace when he had an outing in the Ferrari. Now, i know 1 second is a huge gap, but, for a guy who has been racing 2 wheels most of his life... i think its a good achievement.
If you ask me.... i think he'll do good if he switches to F1 or any 4 wheel format . He's a natural... he was into karting before switching to 2 wheels.

Hmmm... The Doctor 'spinning' his magic on 4 wheels also, eh...? Well, it would definitely be an interesting season with a MotoGP champion beating thee sh*t outta most of the drivers currently on track... Nt to mention his trophy section...!!

Now his Yamaha maneger has back tracked on his words and the speculation about Rossi shifting to 4 wheels is just that...mere speculations. I seriously doubt he'll be able to repeat his Moto GP success in F1 though.

Montoya · 16th May 2005, 23:17

Well driving a bike and a car is worlds apart.. only time will tell what he would be able to do.. but i seriously wont mind him in a ferrari i hate ferrari and would love to see them lose again and again.. hehe

that talk has been there for a really long time. i'm mostly sure he'll move upto F1 someday. just can't wait for that day.

The only one whos gonna be disappointed is Sete. Buggers got a better bike and he still can't keep up. After seeing how diff it was for Edwards (Rossi's team mate and former SBK champion) to keep up with Sete and Rossi, there's no doubt that the Yamaha is quick only bcoz Rossi is riding it.

no no no i dont want rossi to join F1. I want rossi to beat all moto gp records
i want to keep seeing him beat sete every race at the last corner

rossi behind 4 wheels, well rather than F1 he should he not try WRC or touring cars

well one thing for sure rossi in F1 he will be faster than narain in the same car
wanna bet anyone

Rossi in F1 would be fun (altho I am not exactly a Vale fan)...but anyone with a brain will admit that he is the best bike rider of recent times...(and one of the best of all-time)

But these rumours keep coming up and after he had a test in the winter at Fiorano...well who knows what will happen 5 years from now.

Scarlet: He already tried his hand at a rally in Britain..though he went off on a stage

Monty: as sharavan says this guy is a natural..so I think if he puts his mind to it he can succeed in any motorsport!
There have been plenty of ex bike guys doing well in F1.....recent example is 96 world champ Damon Hill

I think he even managed to topple it. It was Ford Focus right?

i think he does want to move to F1 eventually
but only when he's won enough championships so that no one else will ever get close to his record

his 2nd comment about staying in moto gp for another 10 yrs was probably out of frustration.. too many people have been harrowing him about his future

Hahaha... poor Sete... now that man (Rossi) is magiccal... how he can get a Yamaha to beat the crap outta Hondas and Ducatis and anything else that comes in his way is a HUGE mystrey to me - not to mention everyone else in the motorring world... hehe...
