Following Valentino Rossi's announcement that he will not be switching to four-wheels in the foreseeable future, and his public acknowledgement of Ferrari's help, team boss Jean Todt commented on the Italian's decision.
"It was a pleasure giving him the chance to try out a Ferrari racing car," said the Frenchman, according to ANSA. "All those who worked with him were struck by his ability to adapt to Formula One, by his talent and courtesy."
"Now we will follow with great affection his MotoGP challenge, hoping that he can get what he so richly deserves."
With Rossi now out of the frame all eyes are on Michael Schumacher to see if he will remain in F1 for another season, though the German is not scheduled to make a decision until later in the year.
