the guy is talented on a motorbike and luckily in a F1 car too ...
all the tests he has been doing with ferrari(?)
seem to be going well, and i cant really see any reason why he wouldnt take up the offer in 2007
i cant say that im a fan of rossi, i never could conform to that club ... but yeh, he is talented enough
F1 is crap....

This topic has been moved to Other Motorsport Chat.
I am excited for the move to F1. As much as I love to watch a living legend ride I would like to see someone else have a chance at a title. On the same note, if there is anyone who has a shot of repeating John Surtees' success it's Valentino Rossi. I for one want him to go and to win.

i've gone off F1 a little recently but i do think this season will be better.
as far as rossi's move goes i dont think it will happen anytime soon. i think it might depend on whether he gets bored of winning the title on two wheels. if no one can really challenge him this or next season he may decide to make the switch

I'd like to see him leave GP, not because I don't like him, I got a bit of a soft spot for him, but GP would get a lot more exciting. Especially if Yamaha suffered from Honda Syndrome after Rossi left.
But I think seeing Rossi striving for top ten finishes in a sport as boring as F1 wouldn't be good. Rossi might have a chance of winning an F1 championship, but it's only a slim one. F1's a very competitive sport. I know GP is too, but Rossi os the king of GP, he'd be just another driver in F1.
Sure he's got skill, it takes skill just to drive the thing, but there's a difference between doing a few fast laps in a ferrari and beating Alonso.

I'm not discounting his championships and I'm not saying I'm bored of him and I'm not saying I don't like him. What I'm saying is that this is the greatest pure talent motorcycling has ever seen. I for one would like to see him tackle a completely new and different challenge and see how he fares because if there is anyone who can do it, it's Valentino Rossi.
In 1 way I can se him movin 2 F1 becouse he iz probobly board of motogp and hes made his point by bieng da champ i belive 7 times I think lolol (ive lost count lol) and he probably wants 2 show the world that he is the master of motersport.
but on the other hand I dont think the rossi fanz would be happy (and there alot of u)so they would either lose intrest in the sport or PROTEST PROTEST LOL.And the compotition would be boring.
what would you rossi fanz do ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Yeah, Frosty's right. Rossi has always been about fun. Thats why he left Honda, because HRC are all about business, not realizing actually winning is more important. Yamaha on the other hand, did realize that winning was more important, and to win they needed Rossi. And to keep Rossi they had to keep him happy. He could get away with murder in the CYT pit and get paid millions for it as long as he`s winning.
It wouldnt be the same in F1, because like I said, he`s not the king. He wouldnt win every week, hed have to do whatever his bosses say or face the axe. Not a situation someone like Rossi would be happy in. He`s always been a smart guy, so I`m predicting he`ll race until he can sense he`s just past his prime, then retire, quit while he`s ahead and in typical Rossi fashion leave the world in awe. For the next 10 years people would be saying "What if Rossi stayed?"
If he really likes fanging ferraris so much, why not buy an enzo and buy a racetrack in italy. He gets paid enough.

The more I think about it the more I think it is less likely Rossi will actually go and I've known this for a while. I just think the prospect of Rossi taking on the best car drivers in the world is so exciting I really want him to do it. Here's another idea, anybody think Rossi will get bored of two wheels after winning an 800cc title and move to a more relaxed DTM series?
