Falco Posted September 2, 2013 Share Hopefully they keep the team clad in Orange The way I understand the news reports, Alonso is the face and Ferrari will be writing the cheque. If that's the case, they are going to want their name somewhere. Not too many orange Ferrari's floating around out there.. Andrew Steer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
