the most probable scenario is that Kimi retires and Fernando takes his place but anything is possible... one thing is for sure both Felipe and Kimi in particular will be feeling the pressure to perform at their best

In terms of personality he's probably the worst. Is it right for Bernie to state his opinion when he is at the helm of F1? I wouldn't. But as a driver Fernando is the closest thing to perfect when compared to the rest of the grid he's every engineers dream for what he brings in invaluable data to set up and develop the car everyone says that he's always the first person to set foot on the circuit and the last to leave.... Love him or hate him his dedication and talent command respect
Lets let the circuit decide who is best

I have no dobt that Alonso is a great driver. Is he better than Kimi, Felipe and Lewis?? It's a really tough call. GIven what Alonso did with the Renault in the second half of last season, I think it may be possible. I don't like his personality or character, but I can't deny his talent. I remember even Hamilton commenting on how 'bloody quick' Alonso was. Either way, this year is going to be fun!

Alonso is just one of those guys that erks me the wrong way. I hate him. Now that isn't a reflection of his ability I do think he is very good saying he's better than the other big 3 I don't know BUT he is right there with them.

i think it's pretty silly to "hate" someone you don't know personally, just because of the way they are portrayed in the media. i have never understood the concept of "loving" or "hating" any F1 driver, given the right car quite a few of them could be world champs.
