World motorcycling champion Valentino Rossi said on Wednesday he would be sticking to two wheels and not joining the Ferrari team to race in Formula One.
”I will continue, at least for some time more, to race motorbikes,” the Italian told the official Ansa news agency.
”My friends at Ferrari gave me the chance to do some car testing. That was a fantastic experience, both technically and personally, but I think that my work on the motorbike is not finished and I’m still very motivated.”
The 27-year-old seven-time world champion is having a hard time of it this season, lying eighth in the MotoGP standings after five races.
His contract with Yamaha runs out at the end of this season. — AFP
