Some newspaper say that The Doctor will be a Ferrari driver within a couple of days; however, I think that first he will be driving in a second ferrari team (I mean, in a private team with the ferrari engine), and if he success, I think that he can be contracted by ferrari in the next year (similar to Felipe Massa)....although many people say that there is a huge difference between driving on 2 wheels or four, I think that there isnt very big difference between the two sports since the performances or g force is very similar, the lap time is very similar as well, the sensitivity between setting or driving a 500 motorbike and a formula 1 must be similar, and finally, the driving technique on the racetrack mustnt be different between a powerful formula or a powerful motorbike.....btw dani, what do you think of driving technique resemblance on a racetrack between a powerful formula and the GP motorbike

you guys obviously havent' driven many bikes.


there are many more elements in the two wheels that aren't factored in four.

for example... wheighting the front or rear wheel.

these things... you dont worry about in four wheels as there is nothing you can about it.
