This from Crash.net..
While most of his MotoGP rivals were suffering cold and wet weather during testing at Valencia in Spain, world champion Valentino Rossi has been back behind the wheel of a Ferrari Formula One car in Italy.
Rossi is reported to have spent Wednesday driving an F2004 at Fiorano, scene of his previous Ferrari outings, before moving to Mugello - home of the Italian Motorcycle Grand Prix - and a 'proper' racetrack, today (Thursday).
The seven-times motorcycling world champion is reported to have trimmed his Fiorano best lap time down to around 58secs, during his 40 Wednesday laps, which is approximately two-seconds from seven-times F1 world champion Michael Schumacher's lap record.
No times have yet been released for Rossi's Thursday Mugello outing, but many are eager to see just what 'The Doctor' can do around such a challenging race track - which, unlike Fiorano, he knows well from his two-wheeled exploits.
Rossi is set to continue testing for Ferrari on Friday, again at the Ferrari owned Mugello circuit, where Schumacher recently made his MotoGP debut on a Ducati Desmosedici.
He's a lucky young man isn't he?? lol
