Fisichella realizes Ferrari dream

GIANCARLO FISICHELLA yesterday realised a life-long dream by signing for Ferrari. Fisichella has signed for Ferrari for the final five races of the Formula One season after being released from his contract with Force India, and will be the team’s reserve driver in 2010.

The 36-year-old replaces Luca Badoer after his torrid time in the European and Belgian Grands Prix in which he qualified at the back of the grid and was last of those that finished.

With Ferrari this week confirming Felipe Massa requires plastic surgery after his horror smash in Hungary and will not return until next season, the team desperately needed a more experienced driver as stand-in for the remainder of the year.
