Ferrari has announced that their 2010 driver line-up includes Fernando Alonso. For Alonso, what more could he ask for? Fernando is already 28, competing against much younger drivers in a sport where younger drivers hungry for success keep continuously entering the arena. For Fernando, this could be his last big chance to earn a third Drivers' title and enter the history books for a place alongside the legendary Michael Schumacher, Juan Manuel Fangio, Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet Sr., Alain Prost, Jack Brabham, Niki Lauda and Jackie Stewart, all F1 drivers who have achieved the title three times. Two-time title winners like Emerson Fittipaldi or Jim Clark are not really that known or remembered, except for Mika Hakkinen who had the fortune to be rated by Herr Schumacher as the toughest driver he drove against. Alonso too stole the title from right under the King's nose, but the Red Baron didn't grant Alonso the same honours as he did Hakinnen. MS has now revealed that he was part of the decision to sign Alonso on at Ferrari.
Fernando's best chance at a third world title is here and now. Micheal Schumacher is still with Ferrari, albeit in an advisory position. Together, they could work together to get even more titles for Ferrari. The world's best racing drivers are now officially teammates at the most successful team in F1 history. Can't wait to see what 2010 has in store.
