Alonso's Ferrari move to be announced Thursday

Fernando Alonso will this week be confirmed as a Ferrari driver for 2010 and beyond, according to reports.

The German Auto Motor und Sport claims the deal will be announced by the Italian team on Thursday at the Suzuka circuit in Japan.

"It is a possibility, but it is not guaranteed," team boss Stefano Domenicali was quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph in Britain, when asked if Ferrari's next driver lineup will be known in Japan.

The newspaper said lawyers were working hard in Singapore last weekend on the finer details of Kimi Raikkonen's release from his 2010 contract.

The Finn will reportedly return to his team of 2002-2006, with McLaren and Ferrari's mutual sponsor Santander involved in the financial details of the move.

Team boss Martin Whitmarsh was giving little away on Sunday, but he did admit that it is his job to field the best drivers possible, while admitting he has been disappointed with Lewis Hamilton's current teammate Heikki Kovalainen.

And the Briton is quoted as saying by Auto Motor und Sport: "We regard Kimi to be one of the biggest talents in the sport."

It is believed that Hamilton, as well as his father and manager Anthony, are not keen on the prospect of lining up with 29-year-old Raikkonen.

"At the moment I'm very happy with how things are in the team but we have to see what happens," said Hamilton.

So, the 2010 line up as below

Mclaren - Hamilton & Raikkonen

Ferrari - Massa & Alonso

..........


Should be GREAT in 2010 Formula 1 .................

我都好期待這新組合
等睇好戲.
亦千奇唔好忽略其他車隊, 始終09賽例仍有好多空間並未掌握, 10年小改為唔比加油, 引擎耗油量, 油缸位置分佈等於重新玩重量分佈, 車架對重量轉變的敏感度, 能否保持穩貫, 車架食唔食胎變成更大問題, 因為賽事初段是 full tank weight, 越少入 pit 換胎越好啦..........etc.

再多些 "資料/消息"

Ferrari set to reveal Alonso move

The Spaniard, 28, has signed a two-year contract with options to extend and will earn a salary in the region of 19-25 million euros (£17.3m-£22.8m).

The deal, which has been widely expected in Formula 1 for some time, is likely to be made public this weekend at the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.

The most successful active driver in F1,

                      !!!!!   Alonso signed his Ferrari contract as long ago as *** July 2008,***  !!!!!  

according to sources close to the team.

The Italian team had been planning to announce it at the end of the season, but it has become such common knowledge that they have decided to bring that forward.

Alonso's contract runs to the end of 2011, but there are options for a further three years, which could mean he will drive for Ferrari until the end of 2014, when he will be 33.

Alonso made his F1 debut for Minardi in 2001, moved to Renault as their test driver in 2002 and was promoted to their race team in 2003.

He became the youngest race-winner in F1 history when he won the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix, and its youngest world champion when he won his first drivers' title in 2005.

He has since lost those two records to Sebastian Vettel, who broke the win mark in Italy in 2008, and Lewis Hamilton when he became world champion last year.

He went on to win a second consecutive championship in 2006, beating Ferrari's Michael Schumacher in a straight fight, before moving to McLaren as Lewis Hamilton's team-mate in 2007.

Alonso signed a three-year contract with McLaren, but he left after one season following a tempestuous relationship with the team.

He rejoined Renault for 2008, winning in Singapore and, less controversially, the following race in Japan, but the team have been uncompetitive this season.

大家讀完以上 "傳聞" 的簽約日期, 再補充吓其他相關資料 : 法拉利是在 08年 Spa 站宣佈與 Kimi 續約到 2010, 即是 08年8,9月間, 點解會錦呢??? 在此之前, 即 2008 賽季不久就開始傳阿朗素張會去法拉利. 傳足兩年幾.

再重溫一吓, 阿朗素與麥拿倫的合約原是三年, 即是 2007 到 2009 才約滿, 2010 才是自由身......咁 "轎" 既?!?!

記得當年 2007 季後, 傳出阿朗素會以高華拉倫互換位置, 解決麥拿倫的空缺才放人, 那時麥記和雷諾誓神擘願話冇錦既事, 結果........

雖然我不嬲都信 F-1 有好多枱底交易/政治..... 但都唔太兒戲掛. 不過經過 "假撞車" 事件後, 我原來都仲係
Too simple, too naive.

呀! 仲有, 幾乎漏左 : 阿朗素與麥拿倫的合約, 應該是車手毀約嘞掛, 但從來沒有傳媒佈導或提及過 : 阿朗素要賠償給麥拿倫, 更枉論銀碼呢???

過定唔過, 可能星期四就有分曉~

朗素同咸美頓搞到有你無我o既關系，如果麥拿倫仲留佢係度，兩個自己友爭個 1 號車手，上年個車手冠軍就未必係咸美頓喎。所以放手都唔洗佢賠都好正常。

KIMI要走啦
希望Alonso會有更好既表現啦

終於確認了!

真係等左........

Ferrari confirms three-year Alonso deal  

Ferrari has officially confirmed that Fernando Alonso will replace Kimi Raikkonen in its line-up from 2010, having completed a three-year deal.

The double world champion's move from Renault has been anticipated for many months, and will see him paired with Felipe Massa in the Italian squad's race team.

"We are very proud to welcome to our team another winning driver, who has demonstrated his amazing talent by winning two world championships in his career to date," said Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali.

Alonso's arrival is likely to see Raikkonen returning to his former team McLaren alongside Lewis Hamilton.

Raikkonen underlined that his departure from Ferrari had been by mutual consent.

"With common consent, we have agreed to terminate the contract binding me to Ferrari to the end of 2010, one year ahead of schedule," he said.

"I am very sad to be leaving a team with which I have spent three fantastic years, during which time I won plenty of races.

Alonso's confirmation at Ferrari is likely to trigger a series of 2010 driver announcements over the coming days, with the Spaniard's move long tipped as the decision that would allow the rest of the 'silly season' jigsaw to fall into place.

之前兩年都比喱條友的去向傳聞仔搞寸晒個音樂椅 party, 而家一天都光晒!

法拉利又有內鬥了...........
