2 wheels are good, 4 wheels are better

Everyone knows Valentino Rossi - even in India where coverage of MotoGP is very limited, the one person who is known in the sport is Rossi. He has pretty much won everything in his sport many times over. So what does the champ do? Switch sports - he is now test-driving to get into the Ferrari F1 team - no less! Even though he has not made any overt statements to the world at large, he is making some pretty bold statements behind the steering wheel of the 2005 Ferrari. He was apparently quicker than 7 other seasoned drivers in a test drive in Spain.

Man, he must be immensely talented to be able to be that good (we are talking World Champion level) in two different sports. Imagine the media publicity if he does make it to Ferrari sometime soon - an Italian, a World Champ in another sport, a famous man already - he will be prefect for Ferrari and F1.
