Ferrari clear Alonso talk as speculation

The Ferrari team has silenced any rumours suggesting that former double World Champion Fernando Alonso will be heading the way of the Italian team next season. With Spain's Diario AS reporting that a deal from 2010 to 2014 could be announced at the Italian Grand Prix, the Scuderia has put to bed any gossip.

With 2005 and 2006 Champion Alonso long since linked with a possible connection to Ferrari, a get out clause in the Spaniard's current Renault pact would allow him to leave the team at the end of 2009. However, with rumours prone to circulation at this time of the year and Ferrari being tipped as making at announcement at Monza in September, the team has hushed any assumptions.

"We cannot waste time in commenting on all of the rumours," team press officer Luca Colajanni told Italy's Gazetta dello Sport. "Just remember that Massa and Räikkönen have contracts until 2010."
