MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi, who this week signed a new one-year deal with Yamaha, thereby scotching claims that he might switch to Formula One, has carried out a two day test session with Ferrari at Maranello.

The Italian, working alongside test driver Marc Gene, was delighted with the test.

"I wanted to get a better understanding of a Formula 1 car," said Rossi, "and I would like to thank Ferrari for giving me the opportunity to do so.

"The two days were intensive and interesting. I completed a lot of kilometres and I began to understand the handling of the car, working with the engineers and Marc Gené.

I go back to the two wheels where there is still a long way to go to the end of the season," he added.
