Italian motor racing figures have welcomed the latest batch of rumours claiming that Fernando Alonso could head to Ferrari in 2011.

I must be dreaming since the Italian press has always been stingy with their praise for non-Ferrari drivers. This comes as a great testimony for Fernando Alonso’s talent.

After all, this driver won 2 races last year in a car which many considered as a tractor against the top grade F1 cars from Ferrari and Mclaren.

With so rumours spreading like wild fire, I believe it is a matter of when, not if, Alonso will join Ferrari. I believe he will be interested to win more championships and in the process creating a legacy which he is worthy off.

Let us watch how this plot unfolds!
