I totally agree, there is no way that Kimi and Alonso could be on the same team without the team suffering for it. Unlike Massa who gave up winning his home race to give Kimi the title, I couldn't see Alonso being so selfless.

I think it's much more likely that Vettle would replace Massa than Alonso. Red Bull isn't going to win any time soon so they're more likely to release him from his contract so he has a shot at winning.

I think Ferrari would go after Alonso if Kimi gets tired of racing in F1 in a couple of years. He's already said he believe Ferrari will be his last team and he won't stick around once he no longer enjoys himself. However, if it's more than two or three years, Alonso may not be a top pick because he'll be too "old".

On the contrary, I think Alonso and Kimi can exist in the same team, as long as the team treats them both like professionals and not get into the personal "bond" BS that some teams talk about with their drivers/employees.

The point about the Mclaren crew jumping up and down, hugging Anthony Hamilton when Lewis won a pole has been beaten to death. The pit crew clapped politely when Alonso won pole. This kind of favoritism matters in the workplace, whether you work at a coffee shop or drive an F1 car. There is a thread about Hamilton getting a $4 million Mclaren F1 LM if the takes the title this year. We'll wait to see if that offer extends to Heikki Kovalainen.

If Ferrari can avoid that sideshow, Fernando-Kimi or Kimi-Fernando can work.

I think Alonso got so peeved about "losing" to Hamilton because of the favoritism he perceived. I don't think he would get nearly as peeved if he lost to Kimi because it's not as though the Kimster is Ferrari's Favorite Son. I think Michael-Fernando wouldn't work for that reason. Just my two-cents.

Alonso got peeved cause he didn't get receive any favoritism that he thought he deserved for being 2 time world champion.

I agree with you guys. I can't see Alonso and Kimi on the same team. Alonso is a good driver, no doubt about that, but he is somewhat of a PR disaster. He mouths off without caring about his team and thinks WAY too much of himself. Kimi has had his bad PR days too, like stripper incident, but at least those are personal things and not an attack on his team. Anytime something goes wrong with FA, he starts bitching about his team and usually blames others. Kimi on the other hand just has a "sh!t happens" kind of attitude that doesn't make the rest of his team look bad.

Like I said, FA is a good driver, but he is a prick.

Like Matt said, Vettel is the most suitable candidate for a seat at Ferrari along side Kimi. He's young and promising, perfect apprentice who can be told to lay low while riding along side Kimi.

Alonso is indeed a PR disaster and he has been that ever since he was a Renault. Even now he's saying things which contradicts which what Briatore is telling the press. Kimi is the complete opposite and and is a short worded person, you rarely read any of his comments on matters.

Even at Ferrari the team won't bend over and spread their asses from him like they do at Renault. There's only one person who gets the royal treatment at Ferrari and that's Shumi.

There are a lot of promising drivers out there who have the capability of doing wonders in a top car and those are Rosberg, Hamilton, Kubica and Heidfeld, so if Alonso wants to win another WDC he better hurry up. The youngsters are getting better while he at the age of 27 will soon be beginning to see his driving skills decline, especially if he will be stuck at Renault for the next 2 years.
