Doohan: Rossi Glory Soon Ended "Rossi was climbing the stairs down the mountainside."
"I did not say career Rossi has finished. But he was climbing the stairs down the slope of the mountain," said Doohan told Reuters.
Rossi won his seventh 500cc/MotoGP in 2009. But, last year as the Italian racer last season at Yamaha go through with shoulder and foot injuries. As a result, drivers 32 years this could not prevent his team mate, world champion Jorge Lorenzo.
This season, Rossi's appearance with his new team, Ducati was also not satisfactory. He only finished in seventh position in the GP opener at Qatar. Rossi can finish in 5th position in the Spanish GP at Jerez after nudging and dropped the champion in Qatar 2007 MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner.
With that result, the new Rossi collecting 20 points and was in position 5 drivers' standings. Rossi left behind 25 points from league leaders Lorenzo. Business Rossi won the time of the 8th was very heavy.
"I think this year will be very hard for Rossi," Doohan said that from Australia.
"In sports, an athlete just better period of 10 years. Rossi is undergoing season-12 [500cc/MotoGP]. It's not easy, especially after you've scored a huge success."
Stoner
According to Doohan, Stoner experienced precisely the opposite condition. Doohan compatriots this directly play well with his new team, Honda. 2007 world champion with Ducati was immediately grabbed pole position in Qatar and the champions. In series 2 in Jerez, Stoner also won the pole. Drivers 25 years of this failed to finish after Rossi was dropped.
"Stoner caps with Honda this year looks as good as he really was," said Doohan who also triumphed with the team today Stoner, Repsol Honda.
"Honda was losing grip, especially after Rossi left [to the Yamaha]. Now, they have found a suitable driver," said Doohan.
Doohan became world champion in 500cc with Honda in 1994-1998. But, the man who is now 45-year-old was forced to retire after suffering a severe accident at Jerez in 1999.
Record for the most premier class world champion is held Italian, Giacomo Agostini with 8-time world
champion.
Vettel: Victory in Two Racing Means Nothing yet
Vettel started the 2011 season with a perfect result the first place finish at the Australian GP. The defending champions continued his slick record by winning the top podium in the second series in Malaysia.
"What's really promising is that we have exceptional reliability, the issue where we had a little trouble last season," said Vettel told the official F1 website.
Red Bull racer is now leads the standings with 50 points. Vettel held superior points far enough away from his opponent. But the German driver said that the perfect result in the two races still do not mean anything.
"I am delighted with the results I achieved so far, but this is just two races. So the thoughts about the world title, it is very premature. It is certainly important for anyone to gain points at every opportunity - I've learned from last season when once a fourth place finish could bring a difference - but I do not think more than that. "
"Winning two out of a total of 19 races do not determine anything about the final outcome of the struggle for the title. There are still 17 races longer than the two that already happened. I am not a genius in math, but I can apply it to count myself."
This weekend Vettel along with other contestants must re-compete in the GP of China. What preparations are underway by the youngest world champion?
"Yes, maybe it sounds a bit unpleasant, but I have to sleep immediately after the race in Malaysia. Then one day a holiday, and then went to Shanghai to start training again on Tuesday and Wednesday, before we were present at the circuit on Thursday. So it is not enough time to breathe. "
Doohan: The Jaya Drivers Only 10 Years
This season runs less smoothly for Rossi. Seven-time champion has not won 500cc/MotoGP class results from the two races early. The Italian rider is in fifth place standings with 20 points from two races.
According to former racer Mick Doohan, Rossi had entered the twilight period of his career. "He is an incredible racer and there is no other way to say it. But I think the situation this season would be tough for him, although he is not a beginner in this competition," said Doohan, as quoted by Reuters.
"I think in any sport, you only have a decade to be able to look up at peak performance. While Rossi has entered the season of the 12th and things were not going to be easy, especially after he won a series of success," said the man who five time world champion in the 500cc class.
"I'm not saying that his career was over. But I think he's like already in the bottom of the valley," Doohan completed.
Problems in the shoulder makes Rossi's performance in this season a little disturbed. Yet in the last race in MotoGP Spain, VR46 can finish top five, although had fallen in mid-race.

Hayden is also satisfied with the GP12
"Everything went well and we had no problems whatsoever. The bike is very comfortable ride, and I got a lot of pleasure while riding it," Hayden said, as quoted by Autosport.
Hayden admitted was disappointed because the weather at the Jerez circuit was not friendly when I do the test. However, late morning, the weather improved and he could test the GP12 smoothly.
"When I wake up in the morning, the sky is completely gray and the track is very wet. I am a bit disappointed," said U.S. rider this.
"I do not think we can do something because it did not make sense to throw one-day test in conditions like this," he added.
"The situation continues to get better and better. And after lunch, I can go down to the track. I can not wait to drive it, but it was worth the wait."
"It is an honor to participate in the first test GP12 because this will not happen too often where you can drive a motorcycle on the track for the first time. This is a special feeling," he said.
