Valentino Rossi uses honeyed words for his compatriot who, like him, lives to beat anyone on the track, in speed.
Valentino Rossi represented a real turning point for the MotoGP. A sport that was previously almost niche has literally exploded all over the world thanks to him. Especially in Italy where an entire generation has started to follow the 2-wheel prototypes just to see the Doctor’s latest feat.
The #46 with his 9 world titles has literally kept millions of Italians glued to the screen in these years. It is no coincidence that after his farewell the following data of the MotoGP have inevitably dropped. The hope for those who organize the circus is with the exploit of Bagnaia and the return to good levels by Marquez could rekindle interest in this category.
Valentino Rossi returns to talk about F1
Se in MotoGP but Italy continues to be a protagonist through young high-level riders like Pecco himself, Bezzecchi, Bastianini e By Giannantoniothe same cannot be said of the F1. Poor results for Ferrari, in fact, apart from the Italian drivers after Young people there are none to be seen. Furthermore, there is no driver capable of winning races since the years of Fisichellawhile we haven’t seen one of our standard-bearers fight for a World Championship since 1985 when Alboreto fought for the title with Prost.
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Valentino Rossi also touched on the subject and stated: “Italy is a strong country in many sports, but today we are missing F1. We haven’t had our own winning drivers for years and I think Kimi Antonelli can fill this gap. I have been following him since he was little and during the pandemic we started playing racing simulators. Today he often comes to train with me and the others from the Academy on karts”. In short, a very good investiture for the very young Italian driver who seems to be about to be able to move to Mercedes in F1.
