Carlos from Spain:
He seems really happy with Ferrari, even though he is not getting good results from the car you see he is still very happy and that he is thinking in terms of the long run and not jus results in this season. Having followed Alonso since his debut in F1, I have never seen him so happy in a team and he seems to admire Ferrari quite a lot, there is a sense of pride in belonging to a team I haven't seen before in him. I see him retiring there. On the other hand, Ferrari needs a driver like Alonso who can develop a car and more importantly lead and develop a team like Schumacher did when he came in. So this deal makes a lot of sense and was probabl very easy to negotiate. Only problem is for the second driver, who ever comes after Massa has got to know that Ferrari & Alonso have a clear "first and second driver" way of doing things.
Couldn't have said it better myself
