Annoys me how little respect F1 drivers give professional bike riders. It's as if they assume F1 drivers will adapt their .... ahum! .... Talents far easier to a bike than the likes of Rossi would to a car. *begin rant* Yet from what I can gauge the majority of variables in an F1 car are more often than not these days more controllable thanks to advances in aerodynamics and the like. Such advantages aid a stable shape such as a car far more than a bike could utilise. Due to a bikes requirement to require the rider to equal the balance and it to be moving before it can be stable. The rider is far more a contributor to what the bike will do than a driver will ever be in a car. So I stand by my theory that a bike rider will always make an adaptation to a car than a car driver will to a bike.

P.s. Don't get me wrong, I have a car, I just don't like F1
