Ferrari Team Principal Stefano Domenicali has stated Ferrari will not be replacing Kimi Raikkonen and/or Felipe Massa as its drivers. This is despite repeated suggestions of Fernando Alonso making a switch to the Scuderia in the near future. This is what he had to say the Alonso rumours:

"I think it's difficult to add anything else to what has been said as far as this issue is concerned. Our drivers have signed contracts, even if President Montezemolo has said 'wait and see'. Fernando is a great driver, but we're extremely happy with the drivers we have.

I've met a very fresh and motivated Felipe Massa. He matured a lot over the last season. His strong point over these years was, that he always believed in himself. I think he's mentally ready and mature enough to manage the pressure, from inside and outside. Kimi Raikkonen can't wait to get back into the car and he'll have the possibility at Portimao. He wants to show that he's himself again, after President Montezemolo's joke, that it was his twin brother driving by the end of the season.
