There have long been rumours that Alonso is off to Ferrari, but of course none of it has been confirmed.

However in an interview with Martin Whitmarsh he was asked if he is planning to replace Heikki Kovalainen next season, he replied:

“We all know that Fernando Alonso’s move to Ferrari will have a ripple effect on other teams. It opens up the driver market. We are not in talks with any other drivers at the moment, but are obliged to have the most competitive cars and drivers that we can”.

Cat. Bag. One is no longer containing the other.
