Alonso to attend the Ferrari World Finals

Renault have given Fernando Alonso permission to attend the Ferrari World Finals in Valencia this weekend.

Alonso, who is set to join Ferrari next year, is still contracted to Renault and the team's sponsors, meaning he had to get the okay from Renault to attend the event.

The Ferrari World Finals, the event which traditionally brings to a close the Maranello marque's racing season, takes place this weekend at the Ricardo Tormo circuit.

"We are pleased that Fernando will be able to attend what, for us, is a very important event," said the Scuderia's team boss Stefano Domenicali.

"It will be a great opportunity for all our fans who will be able to give him a warm welcome and for Fernando, who, for the first time, will be able to see and experience an insider's view of the world of Ferrari.

"I wish to thank the Renault F1 Team for making it possible for Fernando to be in Valencia; a generous gesture which is much appreciated."
