Rossi told reporters his latest test would be to celebrate his title. "I have already asked Domenicali via text if I can have another test," he revealed. The flamboyant rider, however, will turn 31 next February, and his Yamaha boss Davide Brivio thinks the chance of a switch to motor racing's top four-wheeled category is now remote. "The more years that pass, the older he gets for F1. The chances are lessening in my opinion," he told Italian radio. Rossi's contract runs out at the end of next year, and a full-time change to rallying seems more likely. He will drive a Ford Focus in next March's Mexican round of the world rally championship.
