Fernando Alonso has made what might be his last PR appearance for Ferrari in the lead-in to this weekend’s 2014 season finale.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard and the Italian team are expected to shortly confirm their contractual split after a five-year partnership, as Alonso heads to McLaren-Honda.<\/p>\n
“Fernando Alonso, the last act,” read the headline at Spain’s sports daily Diario Sport.<\/p>\n
Having holidayed and cycled last week in perhaps his favourite vacation destination – Dubai, where he has a house – Alonso’s next stop at the weekend was Bahrain.<\/p>\n
There, he met up with his friend Mark Webber who was competing for Porsche in the world endurance championship race.<\/p>\n
Alonso, 33, was not wearing official Ferrari team gear, but he did pose for photos with the official sports car team AF Corse.<\/p>\n
Another Spanish daily, AS, explained: “It was one of the last, if not the last public events outside of competition for Alonso as a Ferrari driver.<\/p>\n
“The announcement of his move to McLaren-Honda may be imminent.”<\/p>\n
Germany’s Speed Week said Alonso told reporters in Bahrain that he decided to visit Bahrain in order to catch up with his friend and former rival, Australian Webber.<\/p>\n
