MotoGP: Rossi to test Ferrari F1 car over winter

VALENTINO ROSSI confirmed at Valencia that he will not only take part in the RAC Rally, as well as the Monza Rally Show, but that he will be testing a Ferrari F1 during the winter.

The Ferrari deal, however, has no significance, he insisted, and doesn't mean he has ambitions to go to F1. “It is just a present to me, for winning the championship,” he said.

“I have one more year contract with Yamaha after this, and then I will be 31. That is too old for F1. I will drive a Ford in the rally in England, on the weekend of December 7. I am quite excited, because always have fun with a car, and there is less pressure than at MotoGP.”
