The director of the Italian team had already indicated Stefano Domenicali late May that the Brazilian would extend his contract with Ferrari. "I am pleased to be able to drive a Ferrari for two more seasons. I've always driven in Formula 1 with an engine built at Maranello and I am proud to continue my involvement with a team that is for me a second family, "said the driver, the source said. "Felipe is part of Ferrari for almost a decade and together with us, he grew up as a pilot and as a person, through some very difficult moments but we give also great joy," commented Stefano Domenicali, cited by statement.
"We wanted to give a signal of stability for the future, convinced of the validity of the pair of drivers who do not like their equal talent, speed and ability to work together for the team," stated athletic director Ferrari, referring partner Felipe Massa, Spanish Alonso. The Brazilian is currently 7th in the Championship, 26 points behind Webber (Red Bull) And 12 of Alonso. Felipe Massa driving for Ferrari resumed in 2010 after a serious accident in qualifying for the Hungarian GP in 2009, who was in a coma and made him miss the end of the season.
