'Rossi would be F1 winner'
31 December 2004MotoGP's Valentino Rossi should make the switch to a four-wheeled racer. That's the opinion of Red Bull (formerly Jaguar) F1 principal Tony Purnell, who said the flamboyant Italian rider's 'charisma and personality' is sorely needed in F1.
25-year-old Rossi, the motorcycle champion, tried a scarlet F1 car in 2004 but is rumoured to be more likely to round out his career in World Rally.
But Purnell said at a media gathering at Christmas: "He would be great for F1. The best thing about (Valentino) is that he raced a bike that everyone knew was not the fastest one (in 2004) but - wallop! - he's still a winner."
