Valentino Rossi has left a positive impression
on Ferrari's former World Champion Michael
Schumacher after the Italian's test at
Valencia yesterday.
|
Rossi
has been taking part in his first F1 test
with other cars at Valencia in Spain and,
despite an embarrassing spin in the wet
on his first lap of the track, he was
on the pace yesterday.
|
Schumacher reserved judgement on how good
Rossi is, but the German said his first
impressions are positive..
|
Michael
said "It is difficult to make any
judgement because he has only tested three
times, but they all looked positive," |
When
asked whether there was any advice he
could give Rossi, Schumacher said: "No.
I don't think he needs any advice. He
definitely has a talent and I think it
is easier to change from two wheels to
four wheels. He can definitely use his
skill on four wheels." |
Although
Rossi's spin in the wet on Tuesday grabbed
the headlines, Schumacher believes it
was nothing out of the ordinary to make
an error like that. |
He
explained "It is normal in those
conditions, even on rain tyres, It is
very slippery and that is what happened." |
Michael
admitted he was actually enjoying being
away from the spotlight for once. |
He
said "Eventually it can give me a
hand, because it allows me to work more
calmly, and it doesn't distract the team:
we have a programme and we go our own
way," |
"It's
a good novelty in this world, so welcome
to him. Valentino has a great feeling
on two wheels, so he can have an advantage
on cars. Of course we spoke, but I didn't
give him advice: he doesn't need it."
