Fernando Alonso[1] will remain at Ferrari until the end of 2016 after signing an extension with the team.

Ferrari announced the deal on the eve of Alonso?s home race.

Alonso said: ?I am very happy to have reached this agreement.

?I immediately felt comfortable within Ferrari and now it feels to me like a second family.

?I have the utmost faith in the men and women who work in Maranello and in those who lead them: it is therefore natural for me to decide to extend my relationship in the long term like this, with a team at which I will no doubt end my Formula 1 career one day.?

Ferrari[2] president Luca di Montezemolo said: ?It is a great pleasure to have renewed our agreement with a driver who has always demonstrated a winning mentality even in the most difficult circumstances.

?Fernando has all the required qualities, both technically and personally to play a leading role in the history of Ferrari and I hope he will be enriching it with further wins very soon.?

Last year Felipe Massa[3] signed a deal which runs to the end of 2012[4].
