MotoGP seven-time World Champion Valentino Rossi, has stated his testing with Ferrari prior to 2006 was indeed the precursor to a possible race drive with the Scuderia. Rossi is certain Ferrari wanted him to race alongside Michael Schumacher during the 2006 season, but the Italian was still too interested in MotoGP to take the offer. This is what Rossi had to say:

"There was a possibility of moving to F1. I thought about it. Ferrari wanted me.

It is another world but I was fast. I don't know whether I would have done well or not, but in the end I enjoy my life and still have the passion for motorcycles."
