MotoGP champion Casey Stoner has said he is not planning to follow in the footsteps of fellow rider Valentino Rossi by testing a Formula 1 car.

Michael Schumacher recently tested out Stoner’s Ducati GP7 bike however Stoner is not contemplating a reciprocal move to F1. “I’m not ready for this because I’ve never really driven a car,” Stoner explained. “I’m sure he has been practicing on bikes and I haven’t been in cars.

“I’ll wait until I can drive a little bit more before I try a Formula One car. I don’t want to jump in without any experience – I’d rather know what I am doing before I get in one. I’ve driven karts a lot but not really a performance car. One day this is something I want to do, but maybe I’ll wait some years yet. It will be nice to get some advice from Michael.”
