It will be interesting to see if Ken Block does indeed get to drive in a F1 car if he does it will be a tie up with a F1 team with Ford support for sure as a publicity stunt.....
I am more into Motorcyle racing having competed at club and National level here in the uk and the Isle of Mann, Interestingly I feel the real guys with tallent in F1 have also managed to race bikes as well......John Surtees of course was the only F1 car driver to win not only F1 but at the Isle of Mann TT and also win a world championship on bikes as well.......Damon Hill used to race a TZ350 Grand Prix bike and won the Champion of Brands Hatch title, and of Course Michael Schumacher raced in the German Superbike Chamionships before an ijury to his back/neck stopped him competing....
And then of course lets not forgot in the reverse role Valentino Rossi's well publised drives in testing where he took Schumachers's previous seasons car and was only a second of of Michael's time at the same circuit and he had only done a few laps of Mugello upto then and Ferrari's test track......he also done a full F1 test with a lot of the current drivers at the time and so insensed Alonso with his speed for Alonso to declare. "Well if you gave me Rossi's MotoGP bike I could do the same....
Don't think so Alonso racing a bike is a whole different game and you need a feeling for so many different Parrameters and you set the bike more yourself for your natural feel then just wait for some crew to make any electronic adjustments although things are becoming more and more telemetry based...with traction, wheelie, control etc...
Incidently word from the Red Bull camp is Christian Horner is going to rename the Kers system as it rarely works to KIES :smileyvery-happy:
