Alonso enjoys first Ferrari factory visit

On Friday morning, just after 8am, Fernando Alonso arrived at the gates of the Ferrari factory in Maranello for his first meeting with the his new team, although still not as an official member due to his contractual commitments regarding image management, which still tie him to his previous team and sponsors.The first get-together was with Team Principal Stefano Domenicali, who then left him with the technicians, who started to work with the Spanish driver on the upcoming season's programme.

Between meetings connected to the new single-seater's project, Fernando visited the wind tunnel to see the model and work on the seating position in the cockpit, while the day ended just after 5pm.

Before leaving Ferrari headquarters, former double Champion Alonso was greeted by company President Luca di Montezemolo, who personally wanted to welcome the Oviedo man to Ferrari. Alonso also enjoyed a number of laps at the Fiorano race track in a Ferrari 458 Italia.
