What pairings would you like to see in which Teams?

Ferrari: Alonso / Vettel
Mercedes: Hamilton / Rosberg
Red Bull: Raikkonen / Vergne
Mclaren : Button / Perez
Lotus: Bottas / Kovalainen

I think the ultimate would be either Alonso/Vettel or Hamilton/Alonso or Vettel/Hamilton. Considering how close they are in talent it would be amazing to see them in identical cars. Managing the fallout might be another story though.

Maybe Ferrari needs to get their way with the 3 car team thing - then they can sign all three of those guys.

My ideal grid (including ideal manufacturers) would be:

Williams-Honda: Robert Wickens/Suzie Wolff
McLaren-Honda: Lewis Hamilton/Sergio Perez
Ferrari: Fernando Alonso/Davide Valsecchi
Mercedes: Sebastian Vettel/Nico Rosberg
Sauber-Mercedes: Nico Hülkenberg/Cyndie Allemann
Lotus-Renault: Jules Bianchi/Kamui Kobayashi
Force-India-Mercedes: Adrian Sutil/Jaime Algersuari
Red Bull-Infiniti (rebadged Renaults): Kimi Räikkönen/Marco Andretti
Toro Rosso-Renault: Jean-Eric Vergne/Callan O'Keeffe
Caterham-Renault: Charles Pic/Timo Glock
Marussia-Ferrari: Vitali Petrov/Alexander Rossi

Vettel and Grosjean at Marussia

Alonso and Lewis in the Catering Vans would be a hoot

Do you know what, I think that Alonso and Lewis would work well the 2nd time around.

Just not at McLaren......

Just not at McLaren......

To make it a totally fair fight you'd want a "neutral ground" team - Red Bull, Force India, Williams or Sauber.

It would be magic. The two purest racers going head to head over a season with no team orders. It doesn't matter where they finish in the standings apart from who would come out on top.

Vettel with either Alonso/Hamilton in a non-RBR team and without Helmut Marko cheerleading and sucking him off all the time.

First of all about general discussion "problems" or misunderstandings we have had in various topics. It would be useful to use "soft" or "gentle" language, because with a strict and non-flexible approach it is easy to get into a mess. For example something like "Driver A will destroy Driver B" will almost certainly get a reaction - you can take it into account and shouldn't be surprised later. If I was interesting in getting involved in the debate, I would immediately think something along the lines of "hey, hang on... how can you be so sure about it? Why are you claiming something so strict if there is not enough evidence for it?" And so we can have a snowball effect of getting a thread derailed.

Especially as it is an international forum, it is certainly wise for everyone think before posting, so that we actually get understood in the way we want to get understood. By the way, I didn't know the meaning of the expression of "putting manners on" either. So learning something new every day.

As for the topic... Well, I am not bothered of dreaming about specific line-ups all through the grid any more. Only one thing I'd like to see. Some new drivers in the places of Webber and Massa for next year.
