Alonso arrives at Ferrari

NEWS STORY
06/11/2009

Today, just after 08:00, Fernando Alonso arrived at the gates of Ferrari for his first contact with his new team, although still not as an official team member due to his contractual commitments regarding image management, which still tie him to Renault and his sponsors.

The first meeting was with Stefano Domenicali, who then left him to the technicians, who started to work with the driver on the 2010 programme. Between meetings connected to the new single-seater project Fernando visited the windtunnel to see the model and worked on the sitting position in the car's cockpit. Before leaving Maranello, Alonso was received by Luca di Montezemolo, who wanted to personally welcome the Spaniard to Ferrari in a cordial meeting lasting around half-an-hour.

The two-time World Champion also enjoyed a couple of laps of Fiorano in a 458 Italia, naturally in red. As he cannot yet drive a red Formula 1 car Fernando wanted to feel the emotion of driving a Ferrari on the track where all the Prancing Horse's single-seaters are born and raised.
