Rossi upbeat ahead of Ferrari test

MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi was perky after finishing second in the Monza rally as he continues to try out four wheels ahead of a two-day Ferrari Formula One test from Thursday.

"I would settle for winning the (MotoGP) world championship every year and finishing second here," Rossi told reporters before remarking on Formula One great Michael Schumacher and rally champion Sebastien Loeb trying out bikes.

"Our problem is that after winning everything in our categories we like to seek out new motivations," he said.
