Ferrari deny Alonso rumours - again

Friday 3rd July 2009

Not for the first time - and PF1 seriously doubts if it will be for the last time either - Ferrari have denied signing Fernando Alonso.

Earlier this week, Diario AS reported that Fernando Alonso would be heading to Ferrari next season, having signed a five-year contract.

The Spanish daily even went as far as to say that the Scuderia would be confirming the Spaniard on the Friday of the Italian GP weekend and would be including him in their post-season parties.

Ferrari, though, have denied the report.

"We are not going to waste our time commenting on these rumours," Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.

"Everyone should remember (Felipe) Massa and (Kimi) Raikkonen have contracts that include 2010."

"Please Mr Luca let this thing happen because in my opinion he is the best of them all.A good team deserves the best,FORZA FERRARI FOREVER "

"Alonso is always trying his best, regardless of the car given to him. His wins at the end of last season prove that. He'd be more than capable of taking over from Kimi and doing the job. Because Kimi just doesn't seem to want to be in this game, anymore. Even his '07 championship was won only after deciding to apply himself properly in the latter stages of the season. Since then, only Massa has shown any desire to win.

So Ferrari can deny this as often as they like. The only thing stopping them from signing him is his apparent need to be the team's only child. And that shouldn't bother them, having accommodated a certain German this way in the past."

"It's not really a denial by Ferrari, they just said they wont comment on rumours and both current drivers have contracts for next year, that means absolutely nothing! Shouldn't they be saying something like "Alonso is not driving for us next year" Now that's a denial... "

"I hope that Ferrari have signed him - Kimi has become a waste of space. Even his not talking to anyone AT ALL shows him up. His head is no longer in the zone."
