Rossi tries Ferrari F1 Simulator but test is in doubt

Ferrari are continuing their interaction with Moto GP champion Valentino Rossi.

Scuderia team boss Stefano Domenicali confirmed earlier this week at Modonna di Cmpiglio, that the 30-year-old is scheduled to test an older F2008 for two days at the Barcelona facility starting next Wednesday.

Rossi prepared for the test with the Ferrari engineers and had a simulated test drive in the car at the team’s newely constructed F1 simulator; said to be at the forefront of the simulation technology.

He was also given the chance to drive the new Ferrari 458 Italia road car (Also tried by Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa) around the Fiorano test track while with the scuderia in Maranello

If the test is to happen, this would mark the MotoGP champion’s second run in a Ferrari single-seater; a opportunity being many suggest is being granted as a reward for the Italian winning his ninth world title last year. Due to the FIA imposed F1 testing restrictions, Rossi will have to use a older 2008 chassis for the event, which was scheduled to take place at the Catalunya track in Spain next Wednesday and Thursday.

However, serious doubt now looms over Valentino ability to conduct the test after the reigning MotoGP champion was admitted to San Salvatore hospital in Pesaro, Italy on Thursday with what was described as severe abdominal pain believed to have been diagnosed as an inflamed appendix but, no operation was conducted and he was checked out of the hospital with with nothing more than an antibiotics prescription.

The Italian is being strongly linked with Ferrari’s ongoing plans to enter a third car into the F1 world championship themselves or possibly with a smaller supporting team. The issue came about, as questions still loomed over the ability of some of the lesser teams to compete in F1 from the start of the 2010 season. One of Ferrari’s long time suggestions to rectify the problem has been to field a 3rd car, to fill up the grid in case some don’t make it to the grid.

Ferrari are not alone, and Bernie Ecclestone has also expressed numerous concerns that some of the smaller outfits could very well falter in producing a car for 2010.

“It’s not sure that the third car will be allowed, but if it is, Valentino will be welcome,” said Felipe Massa according to Corriere dello Sport when asked about the possibility of Ferrari fielding a 3rd car.

Stefano Domenicali confirmed the desire to do so, “For us the third machine would represent a good move for F1, and especially if a driver like Valentino would be interested.”

Rossi Tests Ferrari in Barcelona

It had been reported earlier that he may have to cancel this test due to some medical reports that he may have had an inflamed appendix after a brief hospital visit in Maranello. As reported by Scuderia Ferrari, the session began in adverse weather conditions for Rossi, running on GP2-spec slicks as allowed by current regulations.

Moto GP’s Rossi (30) is a legend on two wheels, having been crowned the sport’s champion many times has always flirted with the idea of making the transition from two wheels to four. While this test is most likely nothing more than a public relations event, one can’t help but wonder if the desire is there to commit to the switch.

Ferrari driver Felipe Massa has suggested that if Ferrari was to field a 3rd car the Italian would be welcome at Ferrari.

Jaime Alguersuari set to drive Toro Rosso for this season

Alguersuari will hold on to his race driving seat with Toro Rosso for the 2010, line up beside Sebastien Buemi for the Italian team. Alguersuari substitute for Sebastien Bourdais at the Red Bull-owned team in July previous season. He is just 19 years-old, the Spaniard became the youngest driver in the history of the Formula 1 world championship, and his most excellent finish came at the second to last round in Brazil when he finished 14th place.

Allowing for that he made his entrance only second-half during 2009 season, at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with no earlier testing, he did a good racer, making stable growth all through the second half of the year, with a grown-up approach allowing for he is still only 19 years old, added Franz Tost, (team principal).

In this season, he will once more face a sharp learning curve, as all the circuits in the first part of the season will be new to him. Jaime’s selection also confirms our team’s dedication to bringing on graduates of the Red Bull youthful driver program.
