After spending time with Team Principal Stefano Domenicali, the Spaniard then joined technicians as they began discussing next season's programme and the design of the 2010 car. Alonso then looked over the wind tunnel model of next year's Ferrari and tried out seating positions.
Time was spent on the Fiorano circuit as well when Alonso took control of a red-coloured Ferrari: not this year's F1 racer but rather a 458 Italia since he remains under contract with the Renault team and its sponsors for the time being.
"Fernando wanted to feel the emotion of driving a Ferrari on the track where all the Prancing Horse's single-seaters are born and raised," the team said.
The day-long visit ended after 5pm when Alonso spent a half-hour with the Italian marque's chairman Luca di Montezemolo, who wished to personally welcome the double World Champion to his new team.
