Alonso would join Ferrari in 2010

Will the transfer period definitely begin? According to the Spanish daily As, it seems that Ferrari is already preparing for the 2010 season with the arrival of Fernando Alonso. This news will be confirmed during the Italian GP in Monza on September 13, 2009. Monza, the stage for Ferrari’s announcements, which have almost become a tradition in recent years. The Iberian driver is expected to join the Reds from 2010 until 2014.

The driver managed by Flavio Briatore will then join his 4th Formula 1 team after having been with Minardi, Renault, and McLaren-Mercedes. This year, Fernando Alonso says he is disappointed to be fighting for the minor points with his Renault and hopes to return to the top of the standings and win another world championship title.

The arrival of the double world champion within the Maranello team inevitably raises doubts about his future teammate. Who, between Räikkönen and Massa, will stay with Ferrari alongside Alonso? At the moment, the Brazilian is ahead of his Finnish teammate in the world championship standings, and the Maranello engineers have a preference for Massa, who is more understanding and attentive than Räikkönen. Vettel, on the other hand, would be an option for the Scuderia, but he is under contract with the Red Bull team until 2011.

Alonso’s departure to Renault could restructure the diamond brand. Indeed, the Spanish driver could single-handedly begin the Formula 1 transfer market and trigger a game of musical chairs among the different Formula 1 teams.
