A new era for Fernando Alonso with Ferrari

Ferrari fans and tifosis already wish for this season to end so they can see Fernando Alonso dressed in red as soon as possible. The double world champion will arrive with all those years of experience in the most famous team in the world. The Spanish driver feels very lucky and intends to make the most of this great opportunity ahead of him. But he doesn’t forget his family and plans to give it his all on the track until the end of the season, to thank Renault for these wonderful years.

« I am very happy to become a Ferrari driver. Driving a car with the prancing horse is a dream for every racing driver. Today, I am lucky enough to have achieved this goal. I would like to thank Luca de Montezemolo, the president of Ferrari, who put a lot of energy into reaching this agreement. Over the past year, we had signed a contract for 2011, but in recent days the situation changed. And we have decided to bring forward my arrival in Maranello by a year, » declared the Iberian.

«All these years with Renault have been fantastic. Together, we won four world championships, two as drivers and two constructors, and 17 of the 21 victories I have had so far were with them. I wish the entire Renault team the best and luck, and I hope to score as many points as possible until the end of the season. After the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, all my energy will focus on the year to come. I am sure that with Felipe, we will be able to bring great joy to Ferrari and its many fans around the world. »
