World Rally champion Sebastien Loeb has said he is going to start pushing this winter for Ferrari to give him a Formula One test. The Frenchman has already spoken to the team's management about his desire to try out a Grand Prix car, and he told the italiaracing website that he is hoping his dream can become a reality soon. "Of course I'd love to, a lot," he said when asked about testing a Ferrari. "In fact I've already told Jean Todt. "So far nothing's been done especially because during the season I had other problems to deal with. But I'll push for it again soon, as soon as Ferrari go back to winning ways. "I'd also like to test a real racing bike and sooner or later I'll do it. With all the precautions and without trying to get lap-times beyond my capabilities, but I'll do it. "For years I dreamed of owning and I'm very glad I managed to get one."

It'll never happen that he gets an actual race seat. Interesting about the test though.

Does this mean he wants to retire from the WRC and move to F1

Does this mean he wants to retire from the WRC and move to F1 No, he probably just wants to hoon around in a Ferrari for a day It's just a test, I doubt it's too serious, unless he's quicker than Schumacher

Hey, wouldn't you want to go for a drive in a Ferrari F1 car? That would be unreal. I want to see Schumacher test the C4 WRC. ;D Loeb hasn't been in the WRC for that long, I'm sure he's not bored of it yet.
