Valentino Rossi talks about Andrea Kimi Antonelli's chances of winning the Formula 1 world title and Marko Bexeki's chances in MotoGP. The main focus is on Antonelli, who is dreaming of achieving a historic success for Italy. "For Italian motorsport fans, this is a dream, because we have never had such a strong driver in Formula 1," Rossi tells Sky.

"The Doctor" has known Antonelli since childhood, when they both raced karts together. "For me it's fantastic, because I've known him since he was very young. Seeing him now competing for the title is a great pleasure.

"I think, looking at the way things have gone this season, he has everything under control. I don't think he needs my advice. Now we just have to see what happens on Sunday night," added Rossi.

The situation is more complicated for Marko Bexeki, who must recover 46 points on Spanish rivals Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez. "It's difficult, but why not try?

There are still many races left and he has shown that he is the fastest. However, 46 points are a lot, especially when there are two strong rivals in front. He must try to win and finish ahead of them”, emphasized the Italian. Finally, Rossi also remembered the race in Australia, where Bexeki has an open account with bad luck. Last year, the Italian pilot was penalized with two long laps, losing a good opportunity to win the race.
