Fernando Alonso could leave the Scuderia Ferrari in 2015

Fernando Alonso could be contractually free to walk away from Ferrari.

Technically, the Spaniard remains under contract to the struggling Maranello team until the end of 2016.

“I’m sure he is very frustrated,” Niki Lauda told the Spanish newspaper El Pais earlier this week.

But “he can’t just go to McLaren because he has a contract that he can’t get out of unless he’s sacked. Sometimes you choose a car and you’re wrong.”

Mercedes team chairman Lauda, however, may not be right. There are at least two recent examples of drivers with solid Ferrari contracts who did not wear red the next year.

Ferrari said in 2004 that Rubens Barrichello would drive for the team in the “2005 and 2006 seasons”, but the Brazilian actually raced a Honda in 2006.

And Kimi Raikkonen famously took a sabbatical in 2010, after Ferrari bought out his contract to make way for Fernando Alonso and Santander.

Now, Italian media sources say Alonso might not necessarily drive a red car in 2015, even though Ferrari reportedly wants to extend the deal even further.

The sources, including Autosprint, say Alonso could be free to go at the end of this season due to a contractual performance clause, requiring Ferrari to finish at least third in the constructors’ championship.

In Hockenheim, Ferrari fell behind Williams for that position.

Autosprint cited German sources in saying Alonso, 32, has already made contact with Mercedes.

Meanwhile, in the wake of speculation Ferrari might oust the struggling Raikkonen ahead of 2015, boss Marco Mattiacci insisted the Finn is a “driver that Ferrari needs for next year”.

That also ties in with the information of the respected Ferrari insider Leo Turrini.

“Maranello has not the slightest intention of questioning Raikkonen’s contract,” he said in his Quotidiano blog.

On the other hand, Turrini claims Alonso “has not yet responded to the proposal for the extension of his contract”.

And not only that, “Ross Brawn will accept a role only as an external consultant”, he added.

Forbes: Scuderia Ferrari the only Italian among world’s top teams

Scuderia Ferrari F14-T
Ferrari, already regarded as the world’s strongest brand, has now been included in a list of the top sporting brands. The Formula 1 team is the only Italian representative among the top 25 of a list featuring just 5 European football teams, nearly all the other places made up solely of teams from American sports.

According to Forbes magazine’s classification, Scuderia Ferrari has an estimated worth of 1.2 billion dollars, putting it in 22nd place. The top three places are three football clubs – Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, although the lions share goes to the 17 American Football teams that make up the top 25. Then there are four baseball teams and two basketball teams.

Scuderia Ferrari is the only representative in its category, even scouring the list down to fiftieth place revealing no other motor sport companies. On the Italian front, the only other team is the Milan football club.
