A motorcycling rivalry has spilled into the world of formula one, with Max Biaggi mockingly offering to teach MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi how to drive a four wheel racer.
Biaggi, the axed Honda rider, recently tested for Midland’s MF1 team at a sodden Silverstone track, before countryman Rossi joined the group Valencia action this week and spun on his eleventh bend.
”I could have explained to him how to keep a formula one car going straight,” Biaggi chimed to the Gazzetta dello Sport
‘paper.
Ferrari’s five time world champion Michael Schumacher, however, might have brought the pair back down to earth by suggesting that switching from two wheels to four is not nearly as challenging as vice versa.
The German tried a Ducati MotoGP bike last December at Mugello, and ended up about 20 seconds off the real pace.
”Going from two wheels to four, we’ve seen in the past that this can be done,” Schumacher said.
