Piero Ferrari was interviewed by Motorsport Magazine recently, and said that it would be impossible to contest both F1 and WEC now, because both series require such massive financial and technological commitments.
So... no. And as generationx mentioned, even *if* they were going back to Le Mans, it would take a couple of years to spool up. There were lots of rumours floating around in May that Ferrari were going to use this year's race to announce an LMP1 project, but... nothing. If they didn't announce anything back then, there's ZERO chance they'll be on the grid next year.
Now let me REALLY ruin your day...
There's currently a rumour floating around that Alonso is going to retire/take a hiatus at the end of the season. He would rather go bicycling. http://gas2.kinja.com/alonso-signs-25-m ... 9/+pgeorge

Firstly as I said above, I'm not taking the suggestion seriously. It's for fun!!!
I'm pointing out (for FUN) a couple of incidents that happened at the last two Le Mans 24 heures races, and taken a couple more ingredients that have happened from this year and thrown them in a Kenwood Mixer bowl... and came up with this crazy idea and opened it up for a fun discussion!!! It's a what if??? Not a fact!
Secondly, I also stated the only involvement from Ferrari, was building to a customers specification, some sports cars, they wouldn't cost Ferrari anything...
Ferrari would get paid for building them. I know what Piero Ferrari said, but this way it's costing him nothing...
Fernando going bicycling ain't going to " REALLY ruin my day," he can go do what he likes, there will always be someone to fill his seat at Ferrari and any other team he may or may not drive for. I support the driver who drives for Ferrari no matter who he is. I will support Seb next year it doesn't mean I'm his fan, just he's driving a Ferrari. I have had favourite drivers, Gilles Villeneuve, Juan Manuel Fangio, Von Trips, Mike Hawthorn, Schuey... Please note every driver that's been my favourite has driven for Ferrari...
My allegiance is with Ferrari not the driver, if Ferrari were to leave F1, I'd still follow Ferrari and not F1!!!
Please everyone this topic was meant for fun... Not to take seriously
