Oh Valentino

I am not an avid MotoGP fan, however, I am well aware of the bulletted points on Valentino Rossi's resume and have no doubts that if anyone fits the description of maverick genius, it is him. Simply put, the guy is a 'character who wins'! What more can the press want. For the moment, they can't stop speculating about his F1 prospects, thanks to his test runs with Ferrari. And now, to add fuel to the fire, he decides that is time to mix it up with the big bad boys and one crybaby tennis-player-on-bike of F1.

The media is bound to go bonkers if he posts a laptime within 0.2 secs of Massa. The repercussions in the event of him going faster than the Regenmeister are just not worth contemplation. Mind you, the fact that Rossi will be driving the faster F2004 when compared to the slower 248 F1 (2006 version) wouldn't matter to the British media nor to the ones that lap up on such BS.

And all this is bound to put me in the firing line of the water pistols held by some pals in the McLaren camp. Bring it on, I say. I sure look forward to some exciting argumentative times ahead :)
