Sempat Digoda Menyeberang ke F1, Ini Alasan Valentino Rossi Bertahan di MotoGP

  • Sosok Valentino Rossi pernah diisukan akan menyeberang ke ajang Formula 1.
  • The Doctor bahkan sempat menjalani tes bersama Ferrari pada 2006.
  • Namun, Valentino Rossi memilih bertahan di MotoGP karena mengikuti kata hatinya.

SKOR.id - Sudah menjadi rahasia umum jika Valentino Rossi akrab dengan ajang balap roda empat.

Valentino Rossi bahkan telah memastikan diri berkompetisi di ajang GT World Challenge Europe 2022 usai pensiun dari ajang MotoGP.

Kedekatan Rossi dengan dunia balap mobil telah terjadi sejak bertahun-tahun silam. The Doctor bahkan sempat menjajal mobil F1 milik Ferrari pada 2006 silam.

"Stefano Domenicali (bos Ferrari saat itu, red) menelepon saya dan berkata, 'Mengapa Anda tidak mencoba salah satu mobil kami?'," kata Rossi, dikutip dari Motorsport.

"Dia juga berkata bahwa mereka punya trek yang menarik dan cepat di Fiorano. Jadi, saya menerima tawaran itu dan kami mengatur tesnya," ujarnya.

Usai melakoni tes tersebut, Rossi agaknya ketagihan. Ia pun menjalani tes lagi di Valencia bersama 14 pembalap Formula 1 lainnya.

Hari pertama tidak berjalan sesuai rencana. Namun, pada hari kedua Rossi sukses merebut posisi kesembilan.

Melihat performanya tersebut, tak heran jika Rossi mendapat tawaran untuk menyeberang ke F1. Namun, pria asal Italia itu memilih tetap di MotoGP.

“Sebenarnya ada rencana pindah ke Formula 1 tetapi tidak langsung dengan Ferrari," kata sembilan kali juara dunia balap motor tersebut.

"Niatnya mulai dari tim yang lebih kecil, coba cari pengalaman, dan kalau saya cukup kencang maka saya akan pindah ke Ferrari."

“Saya kira itu adalah tes yang sangat bagus. Saya cukup cepat. Tetapi saya ingat ketika pulang ke rumah, saya memutuskan untuk tetap di MotoGP,” ujarnya.

Eks pembalap Aprilia, Honda, Ducati, dan Yamaha itu lalu mengungkap bahwa di antara mereka yang mendorongnya untuk balapan F1 adalah ibunya, Stefania Palma.

Namun Rossi memutuskan untuk melanjutkan karier di MotoGP, ajang yang membuatnya menjadi salah satu rider paling ikonik dan berpengaruh dalam sejarah motorsport.

“Saya harus memutuskan sendiri dan hati saya berkata kepada saya untuk tetap di MotoGP,” tuturnya memungkasi.
