Max Biaggi tested a Ferrari F1 car back in about 1998 or 1999 and was apparently quite quick.

It's really strange why Rossi would turn down a Ferrari test drive to drive a Toyota...
But obviously, it seem like the Yamaha-Toyota links played a little role. |

You'd have to go back to John Surtees and Mike Hailwood for the last guys to race Grands Prix on both 2 and 4 wheels. I admire Max for having a go, I just wish it wasn't with Toyota. Now that he's got his new challenge at Yamaha, I'm sure he'll do at least 2 more bike seasons before considering moving over.

That's coorect Mr V, but Yamaha run with Gauloises sponsorship now. Wonder what happened to Rossis insistence of running without tobacco sponsorship?
