They say nothing can stop Valentino Rossi when he sets his mind to something and despite having spent Thursday in a Pesaro ER for an inflamed appendix, on Friday the Italian champion was back on track at Ferrari’s private Fiorano circuit taking a spin on Ferrari’s lastest family jewel, the 458 Italia Coupe.
Rossi was at Maranello meeting with Ferrari technicians and trying out the team’s new Formula 1 simulator to order to prepare for the Barcelona test that will take place on January 20-21st.
At the Circuit de Catalunya, Rossi will be running a Ferrari Formula 1 car from 2008 due to FIA’s testing restrictions on using this year’s cars.
