Ferrari rules out driver line-up announcement at Monza

Ferrari won’t announce new driver line-up

Ferrari has ruled out the claims of Italian journalists that Kimi Raikkonen has signed for the team and that he would be announced at the Italian Grand Prix.

The team dismissed the rumors and insisted that no decision has been yet made on the 2014 driver line-up.

“Sorry to disappoint all those with feverish imaginations, who are awaiting Monza in trepidation, but this particular presumed custom is a non-starter. In fact, and as is normal practice in the law, all one needs to do is look at the facts: from 1991, when the Maranello press office first began to put its official pronouncements down on paper, until now, only twice, in 2006 and 2008, has the team’s home grand prix provided the backdrop to an announcement regarding the drivers,” said their official website.

“And when it comes to those bird fanciers and their obsession with tweeting, they can calm themselves, because there are no announcements on the horizon,” added the statement which clearly mocked the Italian journalists who claimed about the announcement in their Twitter accounts.

However, team principal Stefano Domenicali said that he would love to retain Felipe Massa if the Brazilian starts producing results.
