F1 pictures
Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa have made their first official appearance for Ferrari in 2011 at the team’s annual media event, “Wrooom”.
They were joined by GP2 driver Jules Bianchi, who is the team’s new test driver for the 2011 season.
Another of the team’s reserve drivers, Marc Gene, was in attendance. As was Valentino Rossi following his move to the Ducati Moto GP team who are also sponsored by Marlboro.
Outgoing test driver Luca Badoer will join the team tomorrow and drive a specially-liveried F60 marking his 13 years with Ferrari.
However the opening ceremony for the event yesterday had to be cancelled due to bad weather at the venue.
Here are pictures of the drivers at the first day of the event.

I don´t know if I really like that mustache or just hate it. Either way, it´s cool seeing Alonso and Rossi in the same pic.

He looks like Captain Morgan :P

I like the moustache, I just think he needs a bit of a haircut!
This is rather ironic, as in real life I have longer hair.

Looks like Mario ready to use his rear wing

He looks like Dave Grohl from the foo fighters/nirvana….

I think the best pic of the bunch is Alonso posing with that Fiat Panda! haha he must be so pleased with that one. Maybe its Ferrari’s inspiration for next years car…

Ha!!! He would look better in a waiters uniform.
Cool Ferrari coat though, I might buy one of those.

Hey, I’ve seen that guy with the moustache before…it’s Mario, isn’t it?
James Whiteley said on 11th January 2011, 20:35
Looks like Mansell’s got competition…!

It’saaah meeah, Mario!
This season Super Alonso will throw banana shells and shoot turtle shells at his competitors ;)

Hahahaha, I was going to post that!
F1iLike said on 12th January 2011, 17:13
It will work perfectly with his Mario kart-style rearwing too! :D
And also, I think this one is in order http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IAj-G1A_pI

I was going to say Wario!

and hell, Rosberg can play princess peach.

Don’t be so sure, Nico had a bit of stubble and shorter hair in that video he did with Mercedes. He must not have shaved since Abu Dhabi…

I wonder why Felipe did not get this new front wing, yet.
mani said on 11th January 2011, 20:56
May be, he isn’t matured enough ;)
P.S: just for fun!
mani said on 11th January 2011, 20:50
Oh oh… I don’t like his moustache!
Alonso, please restore factory settings before 2011 car’s shakedown ;) In LDM’s words, we don’t need your brother on the car for 2011.

How sad, two days ago I was there but then school called me back to Milan :(
Fixy (@fixy) said on 11th January 2011, 20:56
Ferrari and Ducati logos are similar again! This is a certain prove that their common sponsor Marlobro has got to do with the designs.
alexf1man said on 11th January 2011, 20:57
Why has Alonso grown a moustache? :s it’s silly in my opinion. At least Rossi Massa and Bianchi are there.
Fixy (@fixy) said on 11th January 2011, 20:59
Why has Alonso got the number 10 on his car despite being No. 5? Last year he had the 8 he would carry all season.
Fixy (@fixy) said on 11th January 2011, 21:01
Oh, in the video Fisichella (also there) appears with number 13, Alonso with number 8. I guess he didn’t bother looking which car he was taking a photo with!
Fixy (@fixy) said on 11th January 2011, 21:02
No, sorry again, Gené has number 8 and Alonso number 10. Might have confused cars.

Found a more complete video with audio.

Alonso now looks like a cross between William Shakespeare and Jonathon Ross maybe his beard was so thick before his razor was blunt and he couldn’t finish the job. Jules looks like he’s just copying Fernando and Massa as always looks like Super Mario.
I have to say I love Wrooom though. It’s such a fun event and quite a surprise that the drivers are actually allowed to have a little fun and ski etc
Marc S said on 11th January 2011, 21:31
Does anyone know who Alonso is giving the “I’m not worthy” to at about 46 seconds in??
BBQ2 said on 12th January 2011, 11:06
Yeah it was Valentino Rossi. To be recognised by his Ducati outfit.
Hare (@hare) said on 11th January 2011, 21:37
I think I know where he’ll look first to shave 500′s of a second off his lap time… ;)
