Wrooom isn’t only a Ducati event, but it’s also Ferrari happening and Stefano Domenicali, the teams principal during his press conference announced that Valentino Rossi will be once again taking the wheel of one their Formula 1 cars for two days of testing, January 21 and 22nd.
Rossi won’t be at the Mugello or Fiorano or Valencia circuits, but will try out a Ferrari F2008 at the Barcelona Montmelo race track, where he’s never driven the car before.
Before anyone starts speculating on Rossi’s future career in F1, the reigning world champion during his visit at the Auto Expo in India clearly stated he’ll be too old for Formula 1 when he retires from motorcycle racing: When I finish with bikes, I would consider shifting to cars – probably rallying – before I finally decide to take it easy.
I know F1 would have been easier, but by the time I finish MotoGP, I will be too old for F1.
”When Rossi finishes the Ferrari test he’ll have a few more days of rest, before heading to Sepang where the MotoGP tests kick off on February 4th.
