ROME // Yamaha are concerned they could lose Valentino Rossi to Formula One after the MotoGP world champion clocked good times in tests this week for Ferrari. "I have to be worried about these excellent times because Valentino really could get the desire to change sport," the Yamaha team manager Davide Brivio told Saturday's La Gazzetta dello Sport. "The greatest danger is Ferrari (not MotoGP rivals Ducati)."
Ferrari have previously tried to recruit Rossi, whose contract with Yamaha expires at the end of this season. The Italian Rossi completed more than 600km behind the wheel at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain and had a best time of 1min 21.900secs, compared to the current F1 world champion Jenson Button's time of 1min 20.527secs in his McLaren. * Reuters
