Double world champion Fernando Alonso visited Ferrari on Saturday for the first time since he signed a three-year contract to drive for the Italian Formula One team.

Ferrari said on their website (www.ferrari.com) the Spaniard, who remains under contract to Renault until the end of the year, arrived at the Maranello factory gates for talks with team management and technicians.

Alonso, who had a half-hour meeting with Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo, also did a couple of laps of Ferrari's Fiorano test track in a red Ferrari 458 Italia sportscar.
