    It's like back when I was a prof cyclist - people used to say, "If I had the time to train I would be up there with you." Wrong thing to say because the reality is that no amount of training (or practise) can be superior to a 10+ year history in ones chosen sport.
    How many titles has suey won, and how many people bet him?

    Yeah having a decent car helps but being the top is never permanent. Rossi hasn't started on F1's from scratch, hes done plenty of caging himself. And all these guys are just freaks so who knows.

    This may have been true 20 or more years ago, but modern F1 guys don't face the risks they used to. Or that MotoGP riders face.
    F1 cars are damn near impossible to die in.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Rossi is gonna be getting a challange from Danny Pedrosa, he's a bloody dwarf (1.52 meters and 46kgs) but he is fast. Its gonna be good seeing those two battle this season.

    If they dropped all the regs in F1 and just let them develope unrestrained,the first thing they'd do is get rid of the drivers,they've been slowing the game down for years.

    Dont forget rossi was national champ in rally style go carts before his old man got him into bikes. He was only 7 or 8 years old i think. Man could he drive that thing.Went from there to mini moto. F1 drivers are fags. He would do well i recon.
