May 24 (GMM) Valentino Rossi will definitely not switch to formula one next year, according to breaking news.
The flamboyant MotoGP champion had been linked with a four-wheeled switch to Ferrari, but he has reportedly now told the Italian team that he will categorically remain on the saddle of a motorcycle at least for now.
The news is yet another piece of the puzzle about Ferrari's 2007 line-up, with Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen looking increasingly like a safe bet.
''My friends at Ferrari gave me the chance to learn about formula one and it was a wonderful experience,'' Rossi, 27, was quoted as saying in a statement translated from Italian.
''I thank them.''
He added: ''However, for the foreseeable future, I will be in MotoGP, as my work on motorbikes is not over yet.
''I am continuing here as I still have many goals.''
