I think it is a really good thing that Fred is leaving Ferrari, and Italy. The freakin' guy is starting to look like (the late) Pavarotti.

Button and Alonso eh? The first thing that came to my mind was The Tortoise & the Hare.

Not a bad analogy, but Fred isn't the kind of guy who burns out. There is no quit in that guy on the track, and when he needs to be, he can be quite patient. Plus he is quite methodical, that is part of the package that makes him the most complete pilot right now. Having said that I think Jense' will be very strong competition, and with some luck he could even whup Fred, after all he did outscore The Boss while they were paired.
This really is a fantastic line up, and I believe all concerned partys will benefit, not the least of which being the Anglo-Mafia
Long live Ronnie!!!

I agree, Alonso is not the type to burn out or quit. But in terms of the amount of excitement they can bring to a race - I think the analogy works quite well.

I just hope the McLaren-Honda package is up to the job and they don't spend the entire season fighting for 12th and get forgotten.

I'm confused, which one is the tortoise, and which is the hare?
