i think rossi himself made a valid point when he said there's not really much difference between the fr3.5 and gp2 cars - gp2 obviously has a bit more power, and better brakes but around the corners he thinks if anything the fr3.5 is a little better. it would be very interesting to hear a comparison once the new car is on the circuit with teams. if that's the case and you're already under the wing of a f1 team... why lose a year of knowing the circuits and a team in favour of a move in front of f1 teams where you *could* get a kicking? the red bull guys have shown it doesn't really make any difference as to how you're seen by f1 journos and spectators - if anything it's a bit of a bonus being away from f1...
