He is resident - but not domiciled here:
"In 2007, the Italian tax authorities declared Rossi was being investigated
for suspected tax evasion...
...only declaring earnings made in Britain and avoiding taxes on his
lucrative merchandising and sponsorship contracts, commenting that Rossi
had: "residency in London but is not domiciled there."

I guess that neither Stewart or Coulthard is either resident or domiciled
in Britain...typical Scotsmen :^P
