Santander set to announce Ferrari deal

Ferrari will announce its sponsorship deal with Spanish banking giants Santander at Monza on Thursday, confirming a deal that was first revealed by AUTOSPORT in July last year.

Ferrari is to hold a press conference ahead of the Italian Grand Prix with Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo and the president of the Bank of Santander, Emilio Botin.

The Santander alliance comes amid continued speculation that Spaniard Fernando Alonso is also on his way to Ferrari, although it is not known if an announcement about the Maranello team's 2010 driver plans will be made at Monza this weekend.

Ferrari has already stated that it is waiting for Felipe Massa to be fully fit for the start of next season, and it has a contract with Kimi Raikkonen too - although there is a chance this could be bought out.

Santander entered Formula 1 in 2007 with the McLaren team, on the back of its signing of Alonso, and its contract with the Woking-based team runs until the end of this year.

That announcement coud very well be the path that lead's Alonso to Ferrari.

Monza installs higher kerbs at chicanes

Robert Kubica rides a kerb at the Spanish GPFormula 1 drivers will be discouraged from cutting the first and second chicanes at Monza this weekend following the installation of higher kerbs.

The problem of cars straight-lining the kerbs at Rettifilo and Roggia has been an issue at the Italian Grand Prix for several years, despite big efforts being made to find a solution that both the governing body and the drivers are happy with.

This year, the FIA has approved plans for high combination kerbs to be fitted at the apexes of the first and second chicanes - which should deter drivers from trying to cut the corners.

The combination kerb concept has already proved to be a big success after being fitted at the Veedol Chicane at the Nurburgring and the new Barcelona chicane (see picture).

Awesome. I remember at several points last year all four wheels of Vettel's car being on the kerb.
