Thank you Fernando
Maranello, 20 November 2014 – Scuderia Ferrari and Fernando Alonso announce that, by common consent, they have ended their relationship.
Fernando Alonso leaves the team at the end of this season, after a five year period which, with one race remaining, saw him score 1186 points, 44 podiums and 11 wins.
Everyone at Scuderia Ferrari thanks Fernando for his great contribution on both a personal and professional level.
“In the Scuderia Ferrari roll of honour of great drivers, Fernando Alonso will always occupy a special place” – commented Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal, Marco Mattiacci. “We offer him our heartfelt thanks for what has been an extraordinary adventure with the Scuderia, when in the past five years, he twice came so close to winning the world championship. I am sure that a great driver like Fernando will always hold the Prancing Horse dear to his heart and I also expect the Ferrari fans will continue to hold him in high regard in his future endeavours.”
“Today is not an easy one for me, because even if I always look to the future with great enthusiasm and determination, at the end of this season my journey as a Ferrari driver will come to an end” – said Fernando Alonso. “It was a difficult decision to take, but a carefully considered one and from start to finish, my love for Ferrari was a prime consideration. I have always been lucky enough to make my own decisions about my future and I have that possibility now too. I must thank the team for that, as it understood my position. I leave Scuderia Ferrari after five years, during which I reached my very best level professionally, tackling major challenges that pushed me to find new limits. I also proved to be a true team-player, putting the interests of the Scuderia before my own. When I had to take important decisions about my future, I did so with Ferrari in my heart, driven by my love for the team. I am very proud of what we have achieved together. Thanks to the efforts of the men and women of Maranello, on three occasions we came second in the Formula 1 World Championship, two of them fighting for the title right up to and including the final race, running in a championship winning position for many laps. Without a shadow of a doubt, these five years produced some of the best moments of my career and I also feel that, in leaving the team, it is family rather than friends I am leaving behind. Now I look to the future with great enthusiasm, knowing that part of my heart will always belong to the Prancing Horse. I want to thank each and everyone of the team for the trust they showed in me.”

Official statement
La Scuderia Ferrari y Fernando Alonso comunican que han decidido interrumpir de mutuo acuerdo la relación profesional que los unía. Fernando Alonso dejará el equipo una vez haya concluido el presente campeonato, al final de un lustro en el que el español ha conquistado, con una carrera aún por disputarse, un total de 1.186 puntos, repartidos en 44 podios y 11 victorias.
Toda la Scuderia Ferrari agradece a Fernando su gran contribución, tanto a nivel humano como profesional. “En el álbum de oro de los pilotos de la Scuderia Ferrari, Fernando Alonso ocupará siempre un puesto de honor”, declaró el Director de la Scuderia, Marco Mattiacci. “A él le dedicamos nuestro más sincero agradecimiento por su extraordinaria vivencia con la Scuderia, que lo ha visto rozar hasta en dos ocasiones el título mundial en los últimos cinco años. Estoy seguro de que un gran piloto como Fernando llevará por siempre al Cavallino en su corazón y también estoy seguro de que los tifosi de Ferrari continuarán siguiendo con enorme afecto sus proyectos futuros”.
“Hoy no es un día fácil porque, pese a que siempre miro hacia el futuro con mucha ilusión y determinación, al final de esta temporada se cerrará una etapa como piloto de Ferrari”, comentó Fernando Alonso. “Es una decisión difícil, pero muy meditada, en la que siempre, de principio a fin, ha imperado mi amor por Ferrari. He tenido siempre la suerte de poder decidir mi futuro y ahora vuelvo a tener esa oportunidad; por ello quisiera dar las gracias al equipo, que se ha mostrado comprensivo a la hora de entender mi posición. Dejo la Scuderia Ferrari después de cinco años, durante los cuales he llegado a alcanzar mi mejor nivel profesional, llegando a afrontar grandes retos que me han empujado a buscar nuevos límites.
Este lustro ha venido a confirmar, también, mi condición de tifosi, si bien en el pasado ya había antepuesto siempre los intereses de la Scuderia a los míos: siempre he elegido Ferrari. Cuando he tenido que tomar decisiones importantes sobre mi futuro, ha sido con Ferrari en el corazón e impulsado por mi amor a esta escudería. Me siento muy orgulloso de lo que hemos conseguido a lo largo de estos cinco años; gracias al esfuerzo de los hombres y mujeres de Maranello, hemos podido lograr tres subcampeonatos de Fórmula 1, llegando a pelear en dos de ellos hasta la última carrera, incluso siendo campeón virtual durante muchas vueltas.
Sin duda me llevo, de estos últimos cinco años, algunos de los mejores recuerdos de mi carrera deportiva, además de dejar en el equipo algo más que amigos: familia. Ahora miro hacia el futuro con mucha ilusión, con la certeza, eso sí, de que siempre llevaré al Cavallino en el corazón. Gracias a los que depositaron su plena confianza en mí”.

Ferrari finally confirms Vettel on three-year deal
The driver line-up next season will consist of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel.
Ferrari has finally confirmed that Sebastian Vettel will partner Kimi Raikkonen in 2015, adding that the German has a three-year deal.
“Scuderia Ferrari has decided to put its faith in the youngest multiple champion in the history of Formula 1,” said Marco Mattiacci. “In Formula 1 terms, Sebastian Vettel is a unique combination of youthfulness and experience and he brings with him that sense of team spirit which will prove invaluable when, together with Kimi, they tackle the challenges awaiting us, as we aim to be front runners again as soon as possible. With Sebastian, we all share a thirst for victory as well as enthusiasm, a strong work ethic and tenacity; key elements for all the Scuderia members to write a new chapter in the history of Ferrari.”
Vettel commented: “The next stage of my Formula 1 career will be spent with Scuderia Ferrari and for me that means the dream of a lifetime has come true. When I was a kid, Michael Schumacher in the red car was my greatest idol and now it’s an incredible honour to finally get the chance to drive a Ferrari. I already got a small taste of what the Ferrari spirit means, when I took my first win at Monza in 2008, with an engine from the Prancing Horse built in Maranello.
“The Scuderia has a great tradition in this sport and I am extremely motivated to help the team get back to the top. I will put my heart and soul into making it happen.”
