Back in the early 60s, when cars, bikes and racing were simpler, John Surtees gave up bikes for Formula One. In 1960, he took second place in his second race, at the British Grand Prix and started from the pole in Portugal, while racing for Lotus. After seasons with Cooper and Reg Parnell (a private entrant), he joined Ferrari in 1963 and won the World Driver's Championship in 1964.
How will home-town hero Rossi do? Will he follow Surtees's footsteps and be competitive from day one? Will he be more like Mike "The Bike" Hailwood and have some decent results but no wins and not much to brag about? Or will he just fizzle?
Given the specialization of Formula One these days, and that the current drivers have been racing on four wheels since single-digit ages, I suspect Rossi will be more of a publicity stunt than a serious driver.
What say you?

I'm surprised he's getting the seat. His GP2 days were okay, but good enough to warrant an F1 ride?
