Fernando Alonso has revealed that he can all but choose who his next team-mate will be at Ferrari. As the Formula 1 circus gathered again in Valencia on Thursday, the Spaniard was naturally quizzed over the ongoing Sebastian Vettel-to-Ferrari rumours.
Alonso joined the Scuderia at the start of 2010, racing alongside Felipe Massa who was already in his fifth season with the team. At the end of the Brazilian’s seventh Ferrari campaign in 2012, he is expected to be replaced by another driver – whose fate will be partly sealed by the two-time World Champion of 2005 and 2006.
When asked if he will be influencing the decision, the Spaniard replied:
“In the past, never. Now with Ferrari, yes. I go to the factory in Italy every week, sometimes seeing the President (Luca di Montezemolo) plus Stefano (Domenicali, Team Principal). We all talk about the car development, the future of F1, Ferrari car owners, team-mates, etcetera.”
Furthermore, Alonso revealed that he would have ‘no problem’ in being reunited with Lewis Hamilton, with whom he experienced a fierce partnership at McLaren in 2007.
