What About Valentino Rossi In F.1???

[Kaciaj 0]

I think media should stop joking..it would be a waste of time for Rossi himself and for Formula 1...During '60s it was a completely different thing,people started racing at 20 so they were not so much more experienced than Surtees when he entered the grid....now they start doing it around 7 or 8 years of age in karting...It's also sad to see drivers like Davidson,Liuzzi or Briscoe out of F.1....is an huge waste of talent and is agreat loss for F.1 itself..

Rossi in f1 completely ludicrous. Stupid to think a good motorbike rider could control an f1 car wtih the same skill, its completely different. Like saying a aeroplane pilot could fly a helicopter. And would it bring more viewers? No. It would just decrease the viewers of MotoGP.

I don't really know who have started those stupid rumours...probably the press of my country (Italy)..sadly in Italy are all fans of Ferrari,and many don't know any driver outside Ferrari-duo..and people who wrote on newspapers about F.1 or talk of it in TV are just out to please those totally incompetent guys...here too many people talk about things they don't understand...I hope you agree with me about the fact Davidson deserves a seat as soon as possible...

i think it would be excellent for f1 and would bring in hundreds of thousands more viewers. i certainly don't think it would be easy for him and he'd have to train up for it but that is something i for one would definitely love to see!

it won't happen, but it would be an amazing show.

It would bring more viewers just for the first two or three races...then,when they'll start realise it was a stupid move they'll go...If he ends in F.1 he'd do it with a top team and would also find a top driver teammate and so he would get trashed by him...Remember of Alex Zanardi??They thought he could have brought more viewers from the US (where he was a superstar) but when he started to be overshadowed by the younger Ralf Schumacher he ended up soon in the "going to be fired" list..It was not down to his talent,it was just because he had not adapted well to the modern F.1 cars..and he was coming from a single seater series..Rossi is from bike racing..if he doesn't find the way to perform in F.1 he'll get forgiven soon.and I wish for him he stays where he is..

It just doesn't make sense. Why would Ferrari want Rossi when theres all that new talent in f1 already? Ferrari don't exactly care about f1'a appeal to the public anyway so there would be no point signing him for that reason. And what would Rossi get out of it? He's doing great in motoGP, no need to change career! MotoGP fans aren't going to tune in to watch their ex-hero embarrassing himself as Zanardi Andretti Moreno etc all did.

Rossi is clearly a class act in MotoGP. Graduating to F1 is another matter all together. Other than the fact that we would be robbed of his genius in MotoGP, we might land ourselves with another Klein in F1 - and one is more than enough!

He might do well in F1 but well only gets you to the mid-grid -you need much more to hit the top level, ask DC, JPM, FA, KR - they are still hunting for their 1st WDC!! And they are not driving Minardis either.

Rossi fuels the rumours. When he goes and drives a Ferrari and after says he is not yet decided about cars yet because he has another year contract with Yamaha. But he should stick to MotoGP, it would be a disaster to loose him - the rest of the field is too average when compared to him, same case with F1 and MS.

I totally agree that Davidson should get a seat. BAR selfishly denied him but I can understand their worry. I think he would knock the gas out of JB if he were his was the second driver, that would be even more interesting than JPM vs KR, but sadly he will not entertain us this season - maybe 2006!!

I think that with a team-mate like Davidson, Button would be even better than last year, cos he would be pushed much harder than Sato can. It is a shame, there shouldnt be drivers like Klien, Pizzonia etc in f1 with drivers like Davidson sitting in the pit garage

you can't blame the teams. If you want to blame anyone it should be only be BAR. They were the ones who stopped him.

[Jem of the Shire 0]

Yes but you have to see BAR's point. Davidson is a member of the team, they didn't let Button move so they shouldn't let Ant either. He is not free to leave whenever it suits him, he has to live by the contract!!!

Yeah I agree with you. why don't they replace him?. Must be the Honda factor, can't see anything else.

of course it's the Honda factor, how else did he get the drive in the first place??!!!

What? Are you suggesting that Sato is at BAR purely by virtue of his Japanese nationality? Surely Honda saw Sato
