I thought he was joking when I heard he said he was going to car racing, hope that he brings some fresh air to F1.

Perhaps the deal has to do with the links between Honda, seeing as Rossi has a factory Honda ride and BAR has factory Honda engines.
Altho I'm not sure Rossi would want to enter F1 with BAR, coming from being 4 times champion in MotoGP to running midfield in F1 will be an unpleasant experience, even if it is seem a step "up" in motorsports if he moves from bikes to F1. |

The kid is so talented, he might even be able to pull off the switch from 2 to 4 wheels!

He's not going anywhere until he has broken Doohans and ???(for the life of me I cant remember the great mans name) records for wins and championships.
This is a promo thing. |

Definitely a promo thing like Biaggi in the Ferrari a few years back.
But the kid is good on four wheels too. I hope he's competing at the Race of Champions Rally Masters again this year. Check it out at www.raceofchampions.com |

Rossi has said himself that he has no interest whatsoever in F1. His passion for four-wheels is rally.
This is a set up by Honda. |

Agostini - 15 World Titles.
Rossi already has four, and one in each class - 125cc, 250cc, 500cc and the new MotoGP. He has the talent and machinery to win the next 11 to equal that, but he'd get bored. He likes a challenge. |
