Rossi insists: No F1 switch

MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi has once again dismissed any chance of racing in Formula One.

Despite another recent test for World Champions Ferrari, the 29-year-old said he now believes he has missed his chance to make the switch.

However, the Yamaha rider did say that he could concentrate on rallying after his career on two wheels has drawn to a close.

The Italian, who took part in Rally GB late last year, said: "I have always loved rally, ever since I was little. It is one of my great passions and it is great to do one when I have the time and the chance.

"I always enjoy it a lot and, probably, when I have given up the bikes and when I have the chance to improve and I have more time, I will do more.

"But it's not a close future, because I still want to race with the bike for a few more years." Skysports
