Alonso will race in Austin. Montezemolo: “A strong signal”

Anyone who doubted Fernando Alonso's dedication to the Ferrari cause was served. The Spanish driver will be regularly present at the US Grand Prix this weekend in Austin, Texas, as he himself confirmed to fans via Twitter.

It is obvious that Fernando, after the consequences of the compression suffered on his back during the jump on the curb in Abu Dhabi nine days ago, is unlikely to be in perfect shape but he is extremely keen to provide his fundamental contribution to the team in this final season in which every point is important in the fight for second place in the Constructors' championship.

“I am happy to see Fernando so eager to give his best, even when he is not in optimal conditions” – said President Luca di Montezemolo to www.ferrari.com – “It is a sign of how attached he is to our colors and I'm sure that his example will serve as a further incentive for the whole team to finish this championship in the best possible way."
