Double world champion Fernando Alonso visited Ferrari's Maranello factory for the first time yesterday.

The Spaniard is yet to be released from his contract with Renault and he will not be able to test with the Scuderia until the testing ban comes to an end in February.

However, he has now visited Maranello to meet his new colleagues.

Alonso had a meeting with team principal Stefano Domenicali, the team's engineers and Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo.

He also paid a visit to the squad's windtunnel to check on progress with their 2010 contender, before taking to the Fiorano circuit in a Ferrari 458 Italia supercar.
