Fernando Alonso talks about all manner of issues at the launch of the new Ferrari, revealing that joining the Maranello outfit is like a dream. However, he doesn't hold out much hope for an increase in overtaking this season.

Following the unveiling of the car with he hopes to challenge for the 2010 title, Felipe Massa spoke on a number of issues including the car, the new rules, his accident and his son.

Luca di Montezemolo has said that there could still be future opportunities at Ferrari for Valentino Rossi after the multiple MotoGP World Champion tested for the Scuderia last week. The Italian considered a move to Formula 1 four years ago but eventually elected to remain in motorcycle racing.

Luca Badoer and Marc Gene will be retained by Ferrari as test and reserve drivers this year, company Chairman Luca di Montezemolo said on Thursday. The Italian and Spaniard have amassed much experience working together since being Minardi team-mates for the 1999 season.

A1 Team USA Holdings LLC ("Team USA") has been awarded a $4.5 million dollar judgment against A1 Holdings Ltd, Tony Teixeira and Lyndhurst Holdings.

Fernando Alonso thinks the ban on refuelling will make races more predictable, plus other stories and rumours.

Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo is surprised that Michael Schumacher is returning to Formula 1 with a team other than Ferrari this year but insists that the German would not have done so had the suggestion to race again not been put forward by himself last year.

Jean Alesi believes that Rubens Barrichello's bid for the title last year was one of the main reasons Michael Schumacher elected to return to racing. With Barrichello having finished 2009 third overall, Alesi believes that Schumacher recognises his ex team-mate's pace-setting abilities and hopes to repeat the feat himself.

As the covers were removed from Ferrari's 2010 challenger, company president Luca di Montezemolo admitted to being very emotional.

Ferrari was presented with no option but to cancel the shakedown run of its new car on Thursday as ice coated the Fiorano test track at Maranello. Felipe Massa had been scheduled to drive the car ahead of official pre-season testing in Valencia next Monday.

Giancarlo Fisichella has said that he prefers to remain as reserve driver for Ferrari rather than race with any of those teams yet to confirm their second driver for the upcoming season. The 37-year-old was present in Maranello on Thursday as the Scuderia launched its latest challenger, the F10.

Felipe Massa has explained that his life-threatening accident in qualifying for last year's Hungarian Grand Prix has made him only stronger as he returns to fight for the championship in 2010. With Kimi Räikkönen having switched to rallying, the Brazilian lines up alongside another Champion in Fernando Alonso.

Fernando Alonso is positive that both he and Ferrari stand a genuine chance of sealing the World Championship titles this year as Formula 1 boasts its largest field since the mid-1990s. Alongside former sparring partner Felipe Massa, the Spaniard is confident that the all-Latin pairing can prove to be a successful partnership.

Williams announced on Thursday morning that it is extending its partnership with Oris into the 2010 season. The logo of the Hölstein-based company will be seen in full view on the front of driver overalls this year as it becomes the second Swiss watchmaker to renew a Formula 1 contract this week.

After confirming the renewal of its partnership with Swiss watchmaker Certina earlier this week, the Sauber team has now announced a new link-up with Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. ahead of the new season. The company, also from Switzerland, will provide a plane in Sauber livery for European flights.

Rubens Barrichello looks forward to driving a Williams car for the first time next week as the Brazilian prepares to be the first man to do so this year. Making the change from the Champion Brawn (now Mercedes) squad for 2010, the Paulista will hand the car over to team-mate Nico Hülkenberg on Wednesday in Valencia.

The Ferrari team will be launching its first car of the decade this morning and the first for former double Champion Fernando Alonso as he makes the switch from Renault. The official name for the car, which is not yet known, will also be revealed today.
