Rossi for F1?

F1? Ok, no problem!

An article in the ST sports section talked about the possibility of Valentino Rossi joining F1. This rumour, in fact, has been around since a few months ago when Rossi showed up at one of the races with the Ferrari team. There's talk that he'll line up with Kimi Raikkonen for Ferrari in 2006 (No, Kimi! Don't!).

Now that would really be something to get excited about. If you've always thought Michael Schumacher is great, what do you make of this guy? Although I've never really followed MotoGP, I'm still amazed by his accomplishments. He was easily winning championships with Honda when he got bored and joined Yamaha. The championship immediately followed him, and this season he's already on his way to his second win with Yamaha. Anyone thinks Schumy can do that without Ferrari?

F1 may be seeing a new champion this season with the end of Schumy's 5 years of domination, but the sport still lacks an endearing personality. Rossi's a really cool dude and more charismatic than any of the drivers on four wheels, so I'll be eagerly anticipating.

But I'll still be urging Kimi on for the driver's championship though.
