Alonso said “I lost my faith in Ferrari's aptitude to create a winning car”. With three races of the championship remaining, he sits third in the drivers' championship standings.

Montezelomo stated "It hurt him that he didn't pull ahead this year and he needs new motivation."

“Apparently I wasn't much pleased with the way it has fallen out, but that's life and it's fair that the proprietors of a private company can arrive at decisions, and now it's the start of a new, different phase,” said by Montezelomo.

Fernando contract with Ferrari was set to go at the end of 2016, meaning he would allow two years short of its termination.

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel announced last week he was leaving Red Bull. Vettle is set to replace Alonso.
