Bernie dreams of his perfect line-up
From PlanetF1:
If Bernie Ecclestone has his way Sebastian Vettel would partner Fernando Alonso in what he reckons would be an "ideal line-up".
Although rumours recently claimed that Red Bull are set to extend Vettel's contract through to 2015, no confirmation has been forthcoming from the team, which means whispers that Vettel could be on his way to Ferrari in 2012 may yet come true.
Should that happen the German would team up with Alonso, who is the first year of his three-year Ferrari contract.
And that would make Ecclestone a very happy man.
"I personally think that Sebastian has the class to win a World Championship, which Fernando has already proven," he said in an interview with Alonso published on the official F1 website.
"It is a matter of quality. In my opinion both of them would be an ideal line-up as they would complement each other.
"Am I right Fernando? Sebastian would not have any issues with you. What about yourself?
Alonso responded: "Right, I would not have any problems with Sebastian."
To which Ecclestone said: "This is what I am saying. Both of them would treat each other with respect, regardless of being the biggest opponents."

bull$h!t, a driver will always have problems with a teammate once they're beaten. an ideal lineup is a defined lead driver and a quick, consistent and most importantly DEFINED #2 that can win if the leader can't. If it wasn't for the BS team orders Schumi and Rubens(championship years) fit that mold.

In any event, I don't understand why the whole F1 world seems to be so desperate to kiss Vettel's a**. Take him out of one of Newey's cars, and he's no better than 3 or 4 other guys out there.
