Rossi: I wonder how things will work out for Lewis at Ferrari

      In an interview with Corriere della Sera, nine-time world champion and motorcycle racing legend Valentino Rossi recalled his meetings with Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton... Valentino Rossi: "I have great memories of Schumi. In 2006 I came to Valencia for the test and I knew that Schumi would be there. And he knew that many years before that I was rooting for Jacques Villeneuve, that is, against him. So when we were in the box, I was a bit worried, I thought he was going to look at me and think, "Here he is, not a good man". But he was very kind, he gave me a lot of advice. I was quite fast at the test, but I was hesitant about going to Formula 1, so when I came back home I decided to stay in MotoGP. In 2019, we swapped cars with Lewis Hamilton. It was interesting. We had dinner together, had a good conversation. The next day I was a little bit late. I changed, he came into the motorhome and pointed to his watch. It's great that he's moved to Ferrari. I wonder how it's going to work out. I'm really keen to see how he'll cope. And how Leclaire will cope."
