One of the most exciting lineups in Formula One can turn out to be a reality in 2007 with the double R's as the driver lineup for the Scuderia. It is no secret that Michael Schumacher will likely retire at the end of the 2006 season and remember, that Felipe Massa is signed with Ferrari for the 2006 season only making everyone believe and understand that he will be evaluated based on his performances for that season only before he is considered for a renewal.

At the Canadian Grand Prix, Jean Todt was seen chatting with Raikkonen's agent, Steve Robertson and as you may assume, they were not discussing the beautiful weather experienced during that week-end. Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo also expressed a great appreciation towards Raikkonen stating "He has a five-year contract with McLaren but we must think of the future and make long-term plans." Both Todt and Montezemolo point the Ferrari future towards the Iceman. The next step, is, the plan of action in obtaining the Iceman for 2007 to where his contract with Mclaren expires at the end of the 2006 season. Ferrari has made it clear that Raikkonen is in their future plans.

Coming from a recent two day testing with Ferrari's F2004, six time Moto GP Champion (will be seventh time at the end of this season) has taken up another secretive testing session in Fiorano, going against his words after the US Grand Prix fiasco, to where he was reported to have been turned off by the Formula One sport like many other millions of people around the world. The reasons for the secret testing, is, to keep off the high pressures from the media and numerous fans who cannot seem to get enough of Valentino Rossi in Italy who is considered a God, appearing in various commercials, and, featuring in various billboards."

As you may notice, Ferrari never revealed his times and mislead the media last year on April 21, 2004, to where Doctor Rossi first appeared in a Ferrari F2003. Ferrari allowed no media personnel or journalist to keep this test private and later revealed that Valentino Rossi was approximately 4 seconds behind Michael Schumacher's best time on the track recorded with the F2004. In accordance, to Business F1, it was stated that sources close to Claudio Berro who was Ferrari's communications supremo, the truth of the matter was that Valentino Rossi's best lap was only four tenth's off Schumacher's best lap as opposed to four seconds. PR person through Business F1, stated that "Claudio told me in sincere moment that they had fooled the world for their own reasons. They had no desires to tell other teams just how quick Valentino had really been. If he was four seconds behind, would Ferrari really pay expensive money to have Valentino test again for two more day with a further invitation to be fulfilled soon? Valentino recently renewed his contract with Yamaha for one more year, therefore, likely making himself available for 2007 to Ferrari to where he might participate in both Formula One and Moto GP during the same year since both schedules do not conflict since commercial rights holders of the two series deliberately schedule their races apart and there are never date clashes. His recent two day testing has some media reports stating he is 3 seconds off Schumacher's best lap while other media reports stated he was much faster than last year's run. It is obvious that Ferrari is misleading the media with good reason. Doctor Rossi had the following to state in reference to the two day Ferrari testing, "I wanted to get a better understanding of a Formula 1 car," Rossi said. "I would like to thank Ferrari for giving me the opportunity to do so. The two days were intensive and interesting. I completed a lot of kilometres and I began to understand the handling of the car, working with the engineers and Marc Gené. I go back to the two wheels where there is still a long way to go to the end of the season."

Luca Montezemolo and Jean Todt were both at the second testing session and have invited Rossi again with good reason. Does anyone really think Ferrari would invite him again after being a whole three seconds off the pace? Doctor Rossi will be the only exception to the rule in the unwritten rule of not having an Italian driver to race with Ferrari due to the enormous pressures involved representing a team and a country at the same.

With Schumacher likely retiring following the 2006 reason, Raikkonen free from his Mclaren contract after the 2006 season, and Rossi's contract expiring with Yamaha in 2006, the 2007 Scuderia dream team can be the combination of the Iceman and the Doctor. Exciting, this will be!

Live qualifying now on in turkey at www.formula1.com :D

I read an article in the Cars guide two weeks ago that said that Rossi has bene told that if he wants to drive a Ferrari F1 car - he is able to do it at any time he wants. He has also had a suit and seat insert constructed to fit the car...

It also said that his time after 4 laps was 2.3 seconds off Shumacher's best after a 6 month absense from an F1 cockpit.

They also mentioned in the article that many of the F1 drivers say that he is not a threat at all and that they await his appearance in an F1 car.

BRING IT ON!

To be honest (I know there are sceptics) but Rossi would be fantastic in F1. As many can see, getting the fastest time around a track is not whats important. If you look at Ferrari and Mclaren test drivers De La Rosa and the other bloke, they are caneing the regular boys. Does this mean that there put in either the 1 0r 2 seat...NO.
The real advantage of Rossi is his unprecedented ability to race. Many can take an F1 car around a track at competitive times yet none have ever had the competitive talent which Rossi posesses.
IF Rossi was to move to F1, I would not anticipate him being succesful, I would however, expect the show to be ALOT more interesting, and this is the real cause. If Rossi could score points then great, but to have an Italian MEGA-GOD at the wheel of Italys pride and joy is worth more to Ferrari than the resurrection of Enzo Ferrari.
If anybosy knows how Italian act and think than they would have to agree, as national pride is much more important to them than anything else.
The amount of Hysteria that would surround the Ferrari camp if it was to happen would be worth more than any Schumacher blah blah blah!

P.S. What happened to Mclaren's new Jonnie Walker livery???
"Despite the racing public having known about the partnership for some time, the Hungarian Grand Prix was the scene of the official consummation between McLaren and whisky brand Johnnie Walker, whose logos will appear on the MP4-20 for the first time at the Hungaroring.

The iconic 'Striding Man' logo and brand name will appear on the air intake of Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya's cars, as well as on the drivers' overalls and team racesuits."

So I guess its on there now... tho the only real visible stuff is on their suits apparently http://www.mini2.com/forum/attachment90336.jpg

Did you see the McLaren mock up with Jonnie Walker gold and black in F1 Racing mag? Looked good!

Oh no WEBBER!!!!
