Alonso was set to drive for Ferrari in 2001??

I was just reading James Allen's column on itvf1.com. He was writing about FA's relationship with McLaren and this paragraph caught my attention.

"Alonso has certainly alienated much of the team and he cuts quite a lonely figure in the garage with only his engineer, who has to talk to him, and his Spanish physio for company.

I’ve noticed also that his father and manager seem to spend more time outside the motorhome than in it, which may mean nothing but may indicate that they don’t feel particularly welcome there.

If he wins the title he may take a sabbatical, as Alain Prost did in 1992.

It depends on the outcome of the hearing in Paris this week as to what happens next, but Renault are waiting to see if he becomes available and Ferrari, even though Todt has said he will never drive for the team after pulling out of a deal in 2001, may be forced to revise his opinion by Ferrari president Luca Di Montezemolo."
