I'm Done With F1 Unfortunately.

I'm Valentino Rossi. And I Want To Be A Person, Not An Icon.

Nowadays, We Have To Deal With So Many More Factors That Weren't There In The Past. It's Not Enough To Be A Good Rider, If You Want To Finish At The Front. The Riders Have Become Incredible Athletes. In The Past, You Could Manage The Race And Fight Only On The Last Laps. Now You Need To Train Hard. You Cannot Allow Yourself To Go On Track Without Being At 100 Percent.

I Am Completely Focused On Being Strong, Riding Fast, And Enjoying Myself. With The New Generation Of Riders, Only The Chronometer Counts. I Need To Be Faster Than Them On Track.

It's A Big, Big Advantage Because Understanding What Changes We Might Make Takes Time And It Takes Time To Work Out Settings And To Understand Everything About The New Machine.

The Great Fights With Your Strongest Rivals Are Always The Biggest Motivation. When You Win Easily It's Not The Same Taste.
