Got this from my pals at RaceFax.com a day or so ago, but forgot to post it here until today. Sorry.
It's another article from AutoSport about Valentino Rossi's plans for Formula One.
Rossi to decide on future in three months
Autosport, March 6th 2006, 10:08 GMT
MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi says he will decide if he wants to switch to four-wheel racing in about three months time.
Italian Rossi, who has won motorcycling's top category for the past five years, recently tested a Ferrari Formula One car in Spain and earned a great deal of praise from the stable after performing well.
However, Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher said in an interview with daily Bild he did not expect to see Rossi and himself race together for Ferrari next year.
"To be perfectly honest, this is pretty improbable," he told the newspaper.
Asked if this was due to him retiring after this season, he added: "This has absolutely nothing to do with me."
Rossi, meanwhile, said he hadn't made up his mind yet about his future.
"If he says so! Joking apart, nothing's changed," Rossi told Gazzetta dello Sport. "The decision hasn't been taken yet but you will know soon.
"When? Two months' time is too little, let's say three."
Interesting stuff... Is it just me or does it seem like there is already some mind games going on here between Rossi and Schumacher?
Cheers!
