The most important point which most people seem to be forgetting is that Michael is under contract by Ferrari!!! There is no way in hell that Ferrari would risk Michael sustaining an injury in such a meaningless competition. The only thing such a competition would prove is that Colin can beat Michael in Rally, and Michael can beat Colin in F1.
In my opinion however, while Colin would whip Michael in Rally now, given time, say a year of practice, I am confident that Michael would gain the upper edge. On the other hand, Colin could never match Michael in an F1 car no matter how many years of practice he is given. F1 requires a deft touch, and skill like Michaels comes along once a generation. He may get within half a second at best, but certainly no more.
To sum up:- In my opinion, an F1 driver could enter any sort of motorsport,and given ample learning time, compete successfully. However, it rarely works the other way around.
