A freind just told me that it is has been confirmed the Fernando Alonso will be driving for the Scuderia... he is in Spain and I can not find a site that confirms the news

Can anyone else confirm this???

 

I really, REALLY want to believe this

 

Me too but I thought it was confirmed that Ferrari's own test driver, Luca Something-or-other would be driving in Massa's place.

 

still a rumor at this point. would be the right move for him though.

 

This move would sure piss off the folk at a certain Woking factory.

 

True but he is too old going forward so they might just do the move coz they have nothing to loose this season...

 

Maybe next year for when Kimi retires.

 

Has that been confirmed?

 

No, but if Kimi retires I think Alonso would put on a red driving suit and never look back.

Ferrari would have their hands full keeping his ego in check with Felipe.

 

I looked into this in both Spanish and English media. They are not saying he's driving for Ferrari beginning with Euro GP and going forward. The rumor is that the deal is inked for 2010 and 2011 seasons. This possibility has been swirling ever since he left McLaren. I tend to believe it is a done deal, or close to a done deal. It's an obvious move for him and Ferrari. And the F1 teams tend to sign deals during this break every year. Kimi will most likely call it quits and retire to focus on rally. Vettel is tied up and still a hair too inexperienced to be Ferrari's no. 1 driver. Massa certainly doesn't fit the bill--pre or post accident. So Luca probably sat down separately, confidentially with both Kimi and Alonso over the break and it's probably done in principal if not yet on paper.

The rumor is that Ferrari will present him at Monza. Ferrari announces everything at Monza. That's where Schumi announced retirement. Kimi announced there. It's after the break on home turf, etc. I desparately want to see a good, strong Ferrari v. McLaren fight in 2010 like the good ol' days. What makes it more rich is that it will be Lewis v. Ferny. Oh this is gonna be GOOD!!!!
