Ferrari have offered a test-drive in one of their Formula One cars to 125cc and 250cc FIM World Motorcycle Champion Max Biaggi. A spokesman of the team said: "It's something which dates back to the start of this season when Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo told Biaggi he could test drive a car if he won a race in his first season in 500cc."

Biaggi did more than just win a race in his first year, and is now running second in that championship. "But I don't think we'll be signing Max to drive for us next year," the spokeman added.
