Alonso/Ferrari announcement postponed due to Massa's recovery?

The silly season continues as rumours about a possible Alonso/Ferrari-switch have been ongoing for months. A source close to both parties declared to 'GPWeek' that the Monza announcement has been delayed as Felipe Massa is still recovering from his accident during the Hungarian GP qualifying session.

The source was quoted by GPWeek saying: "The announcement was due to be made in Monza as had been expected for some time. However with Massa's return under question the team has been forced to delay.

"Fernando will be a Ferrari driver in 2010. The deal has been signed. The only question is his team-mare and out of respect for Felipe, Ferrari will not make the announcement until they are sure whether he will be able to return."
