Here we go again, the most successful driver in F1 the last few years just might join the most successful constructor the last few years after all.

Of course, if you’ve been following Formula One, rumors claiming Fernando Alonso will join Ferrari broke out in the middle of the 2008 F1 season and now that the racing year is about to come to a close, these rumors for some reason have begun to come alive again.

Apparently, Fernando Alonso can’t wait to drive for Ferrari probably because he’s so pissed at McLaren after he was basically replaced by the team for a younger guy last season that he’s ready to join McLaren’s rivals Ferrari and hurt them where it hurts the most, on the racetrack.

Alonso was rumored to join Ferrari at the end of the 2009 season. Some even suggested that the move could take place as early as at the end of this season with Kimi Raikkonen looking to leave F1 for rally racing.

When Ferrari extended the contracts of both Raikkonen and Felipe Massa for 2010, the rumored move of Alonso to Ferrari ultimately died down because of the mere fact that if both Raikkonen and Massa will still be with Ferrari until 2010, that will leave Alonso without any spot left with the Italian giant.

Until now.

Apparently, Spanish banking giant Banco Santander, who happens to currently have a partnership with McLaren, wants to join forces with Ferrari provided that double world champion Fernando Alonso is driving for them.

There are also reports that claim the bank is more than willing to pay out the remainder of Raikkonen’s contract so that Ferrari can finally get rid of last season’s champion and have Alonso join them a year earlier with the team ready to offer the Spanish driver a four-year deal.

Yes, it gets better and better each week.
