Alonso: "Ferrari an option for the future"

Despite having declared to the English press that the latest rumors about Ferrari are not true, Fernando Alonso admitted to the Spanish newspaper AS that the Maranello team is an option for the future.

"I have often said that I want to drive a car that allows me to win. In 2005 and 2006 everyone dreamed of Renault, but in the last two seasons Ferrari has won more championships than us. This is the reason why Ferrari it's an option for everyone, due to its successes over the last 10 years. Drivers always want the best car" said Alonso.

In an interview with El Mundo, Alonso reiterated that he "always wanted to be in a team like Ferrari". "What I mean is that I'm not demoralized, I'm not sad, I'm just late. It's like the Tour (de France). Now I'm in a phase where I'm saving my energy for the mountains, because and 'Then I'll be at the top,' added Alonso, refusing to make a prediction regarding his country's possible reaction to the official announcement of his move to Ferrari.

"I don't know, I'm not a bettor. It's necessary to wait for this match in Germany to see what will happen in the championship, and it's difficult to predict what will happen in the future."
