Alonso's first day at Ferrari

I wonder which Ferrari road car he will chose to drive as personal transport?

 

Some what a good day for Fernando Alonso then.

 

Thats great news for him and Ferrari. i am so looking forward to the grudge battle between Alonso and Lewis...classic
I wish the BBC would have an F1 catch up program over the winter. Its a killer having nothing F1 to watch.

 

There was a review of Jenson Buttons season on today, and the season in general.

 

great, exellent to know that. i hope to see him next week in Valencia for the finali mondiali.

 

Hopefully he'll participate in the development of Ferrari road cars the way Schumacher did.

Would be awesome to see his name on the replacement of e.g. the 599.

 

Yes i saw that at 1pm.

 

I would like to see him serve his time and show he has the ferrari blood running through his veins first. The Schumacher name on a Ferrari will always be without question. Imagine if we had a ferrari named after Kimi, i for one would think that would be a mistake because lets face it he dont give a stuff about Ferrari. I would still be of the same opinion if he wins a WC in the Ferrari next year.
That said Ferrari branding is done so flippantly these days, it would not surprise me.

 

I've had dreams similar to the day alonso experienced!

 

I'd think that is cool, because I think Kimi is very cool.

That said, I wasn't looking for a Ferrari named after Alonso (or Kimi or MS), but one where the driver had input in its making.

Given Alonso's talent for developing a car, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd help testing some road car.

 

Oh i get ya

 

Yeah, I think thats probably all we're getting until March .

 

I wonder if he complained that Massa pitted the 458 before him

 

Anyone know of any video footage of him driving the 458 Italia?

 

First, i hope he'll do his best to get both titles to Maranello

 

Does anyone knows if Alonso speaks Italian?

Always an asset at Maranello ...

 

I suppose so. What language was he and Massa arguing a few years back at the Nurburgring?

 

Italian and Spanish are so close I'm sure he knows how to speak it, and if not most of the people at ferrari can speak spanish

 

I'm pretty sure I've read that Fernando is fluent in three or four (maybe more) languages, including Italian.

edit:

Quoted from his Wikipedia entry - "As well as Spanish, he speaks Italian, French and English."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Alonso

 

He speaks Italian, I just want to see a video of him behind the wheel of the 458 at the track.

 

So you don't fancy owning a Ferrari Fernando then?

 

Alonso's Italian is more than passable, as is Massa's.

Vettel's is improving...

 

I would fancy it, but probably not too many other folks. I dunno, since it was never tried.
