I think the Petronas team got some kind of a dream getting two top gun pilots. One was expected, Franco, and the other was a revelation. They have set the bar quite high, and I expect they will most likely do as much in 2020, since they are retaining the same talent, but will get better support from Yamaha. I can see that 2021 being the crux of the matter. If MV moves to another brand, they will lose one of the two stars. If both MV and VR move out, I expect they will lose the two. Not easy to replace such brilliant gentlemen...

I don’t mind events like this in the off season. It’s obviously PR. I suspect Rossi was chosen because of the world championship comparison and the fact Rossi is head and shoulders the fastest and most skilled Car Driver in the grid. His Rally experience and previous F1 appearances show that. I don’t think his skills on four wheels can be disputed. Marquez has had a brief go on four wheels but I don’t think he’s anything like the accomplished driver Rossi is. Most of the other guys have little or no 4 wheel experience there all too young. Don’t know about Dovi or Cal. It’s a comparison many have discussed before there’s only ver been one guy that won both titles before. I personally don’t see it happening again any time soon but you never know!
