Alonso at Ferrari: 2010 or 2011?

If the single-seaters of Formula 1 move very quickly, transfer rumors gallop even faster. This is how, since the Spanish newspaper As spoke of an agreement between Ferrari and Fernando Alonso, the world of motorsport was ignited around this transfer. A movement that has been expected for years but has still not come. Indeed, in 2007, Fernando Alonso, then a recent double world champion, finally opted for McLaren while Kimi Raïkkönen left to join the Team. After the flop of his agreement with Lewis Hamilton, the Spaniard had moved again, but due to lack of a free seat in Italy, had chosen security by returning home Renault, left a year earlier.

If 2008 proved to be very difficult for Alonso with the R28, the last races of the season had given us a glimpse of a good year in 2009. Unfortunately for the Franco-English team, the change in regulations did not make it possible to take advantage of the past efforts. And Fernando Alonso finds himself until now, behind the wheel of a car which does not lead him to the podium. From then on, the departure of the double world champion, who does not want to stop at these two titles, is in people's minds. And its rapprochement with Ferrari, as the driver and the team have the mutual desire to work together, seems inevitable.

The daily As speaks of an agreement already concluded for five years, from the next season, within the Scuderia. But Alonso is under contract with Renault until the end of 2010, just like Massa and Räikkönen at Ferrari. The Spaniard could therefore have to wait another year, unless an internal solution is found for this rapprochement to take place. Because there is no doubt that Fernando Alonso will not agree to relive a 2010 season like he is experiencing. And may his desire to run for the prancing horse stable be stronger than anything. However, and still according to As, the Scuderia, an official announcement could take place on September 11, during the Italian Grand Prix, to clarify the situation.
