When Fernando Alonso left McLaren there were rumors that he was headed over to Ferrari. After all Fernando was one of the top drivers for McLaren and who wouldn’t want him on their team? Well we heard through the grapevine that Ferrari has no intention of bringing him over and has never even bothered to ask him.
The two time world champion had been linked to a move to Ferrari even though the Maranello team already had both Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa under contract for next season. He elected to re-sign with Renault, the team he left last season in order to join McLaren, but admits it wasn’t an easy decision.
“There was a possibility to continue at McLaren,” he tells Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, adding that his grandmother was among the most vocal for him to leave the Woking-based team. “When I left McLaren all teams approached me, but not Ferrari (and) I never visited a team’s factory.”
It seems that Ferrari is content with both Raikkonen and Massa under their belt and are confident that they are enough to win them the titles they need for next year.
