Di Montezemolo: Alonso will join Ferrari one day

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo has said that, sooner or later, double Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso will join the Ferrari team. The Italian does suggest, however, that it won't be in 2010.

Earlier today Michael Schumacher announced that he has extended his contract at Ferrari whereas Felipe Massa, Kimi Räikkönen, Giancarlo Fisichella, Marc Gené and Luca Badoer are already contracted to the team for next year.

Di Montezemolo admits that Spain's Alonso will probably join the squad one day, as he revaled to Spanish reporters at Monza on Friday: "Sooner or later it will happen but we'll have to wait and see when that will be. For 2010 we have Räikkönen, Massa, Fisichella, Badoer, Gené and Schumacher so we have plenty of drivers.

"I have always been a big fan of Alonso because he is a great driver; he has won titles and sooner or later all great drivers come to Ferrari."
