Fisichella to switch to Ferrari

If this happens, looks like Force India's party was short lived.

BBC sports is reporting that Fisi is all set to switch to Ferrari midway through the season(as early as next race)

Giancarlo Fisichella is poised to make a temporary switch to Ferrari ahead of next month's Italian Grand Prix.



Confirmation of the Force India driver's move could come on Tuesday, a source close to Ferrari told BBC Sport.


Force India commercial director Ian Phillips told Radio 5 live on Monday: that he expected an approach from Ferrari "in the next 24 hours or so."
Fisichella would replace Luca Badoer, who has struggled as a replacement for the injured Felipe Massa.


Badoer, Ferrari's official reserve driver, was drafted in to replace the injured Felipe Massa after legendary seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher was forced to shelve his comeback plans.




Massa is recovering at home in Brazil after suffering a fractured skull in a crash during qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix in July.




The 28-year-old is targeting a return at the Brazilian Grand Prix on 18 October, but there is speculation that Massa will not be able to race until at least next season.


Ferrari are believed to have run out of patience with Badoer, who has qualified last at both of his races so far.



While Raikkonen won Sunday's race at Spa, Badoer trailed in last, nearly 48 seconds slower than the driver in front.


The Italian GP is on the 13 September, followed by Grands Prix in Singapore and Japan, before the teams head to Brazil.
Phillips added: "Nobody's asked us yet but I think it's pretty likely that somebody will make a phone call to (Force India team boss) Vijay Mallya over the next 24 hours or so asking if we would release him to Ferrari.

Fisi has for now denied all this as rumor.

Lmao.... it would be stupid to let Fisichella goto ferrari after the stunning race at SPA. I hope mallya thinks it over.

^^ You seriously don't think mallaya can compete with the muscle and money power of Ferrari, do you?
Although its being denied but we all know Monza is an important race for Ferrari and they certainly wouldn't want to bank their podium place on the great Kimi

^ not after mubdala bought over a part of ferrari .. no. i dont think mallya would be stupid enough to invest so much. Mubdala has way more than we can even start to imagine in terms of money and muscle. But since its confirmed that fisi is moving to ferrari.. im not gonna say anything
