Today saw the second and last day of testing for MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi with Ferrari, and although their were worse weather conditions, they didn't however have any influence on the celebratory mood in the pit box of the Scuderia, the Formula One Constructors' World Championship winning team.

A present for winning the prestigious motorbike racing title this year, Rossi, who has previous flirted with the idea of switching to F1 with the Scuderia, has spent the last two days at the Mugello circuit behind the wheel of this year's championship-winning Ferrari F2008 chassis.

Valentino Rossi could only go out on a dry track in the morning, using the according tyres. In the afternoon rain and low temperatures conditioned the test at Mugello, the circuit owned by Ferrari. The Moto GP World Champion didn't get discouraged and went out also on a wet track: in total he drove 56 laps or 257 kilometres. He did his fastest lap in a time of 1.24.04, while his best lap on a wet track was done in 1.33.56. The test session ended just before 5pm, when the visibility was too bad to go on.

"The test went quite well," Valentino said at the end of the day. "Unfortunately I could just go out for a couple of laps on a dry track in the morning, but we also tried it on the wet track. I was impressed and it went well. The car is fantastic and all in all it was a good test. I want to thank the guys from the Team and obviously Luca di Montezemolo and Stefano Domenicali, who were really committed over the last two days. I felt like a real Formula One driver!"
