Licenze FIA: Valentino Rossi resta Silver, ecco chi cambia nel 2026

Anche per la stagione 2026 Valentino Rossi manterrà la licenza FIA come pilota Silver, secondo l'elenco pubblicato nella giornata di lunedì nel quale vengono specificate le modifiche in vista del prossimo anno.

Il 'Dottore' era tra i numerosi conduttori che, come avviene ogni 12 mesi, vengono rivalutati dalla Federazione per capire quale categorizzazione meritino, a seconda di parametri diversi come età, risultati ottenuti e campionati cui hanno preso parte nelle ultime uscite al volante.

Rossi dal 1° gennaio potrà quindi mantenere l'attuale status che gli consente di essere inserito nell'equipaggio di LMGT3 nel FIA World Endurance Championship - che prevede appunto un mix di Platinum/Gold-Silver-Bronze - mentre tanti altri nomi sono finito sotto la lente d'ingrandimento FIA e hanno ricevuto una promozione o un declassamento.

Naturalmente, queste modifiche sono appellabili chiedendo una contro-revisione, il che spesso torna utile anche in chiave politica per quei piloti che con un determinato tipo di licenza possono lavorare, come ad esempio avviene per i Silver che non godono di un contratto da ufficiale con un Costruttore, ma sono chiamati a dare supporto e insegnamenti ai colleghi meno esperti.

Tra questi possiamo fare gli esempi dei nostri Lorenzo Patrese, Michele Beretta e Riccardo Pera, i quali manterranno ancora una volta lo status Silver, così come la portacolori ufficiale Ferrari, Lilou Wadoux, mentre tra i Bronze rimarrà Giorgio Roda e fra i Gold Kevin Ceccon e Luca Filippi, seppur attualmente stiano svolgendo solamente lavori di coach-driver.
