Fernando Alonso has welcomed new teammate Kimi Raikkonen to Ferrari.

Former world champion Raikkonen was named as Felipe Massa's replacement on Wednesday after signing a two-year deal that will start next season.

The Finn enjoyed a previous spell with the team from 2007 to 2009, during which he won the World Championship.

"I'd like to welcome my new travelling companion," Alonso told Ferrari's official website. "Together, starting next year, we will have to tackle a very demanding technical and racing challenge."

Raikkonen won the first race of the current season at the Australian Grand Prix but has failed to top the podium since.
