It's easy to forget how good Mark is... I'm delighted that he's signed a new contract. RBR deserve him and he deserves them.

Great racing team (as much as it pains me to say it) and he's a great driver.

Also, don't forget that we could easily be talking about a World Champion here...(2010 Abu Dhabi all the press were around his car - and not Seb's) and he's very much in contention for the WDC this year too in which case, let's say he does win it this year. He could've been a double world champ.

Would be great for him to win one. I don't think many people would begrudge him it.

He is a really nice guy as well. Hopefully he can make that extra push required this year to pick up his 1st Championship. At a meeting yesterday his mobile went off, pulled it from his pocket and said " bloody Ferrari again"

Is there a reason people want "musical chairs shenanigans"? Isn't watching them race enough without craving conflict?

I think most people [well me anyway] like a certain driver and a certain team. This naturally makes you want to see certain car/driver pairings. Personally, there is a certain driver with a yellow crash helmet that i would love to see here.

The test to see if he really is a match for Alonso or Hamilton on a truly level playing field (or as level as it gets)

That said, it would also be good to see Hamilton/Alonso paired. It would be a formidible lineup.

Did'nt workout so good the first time, saying that, at a different team it could be totally different again.

Your username sums up this comment

Do you think that is not true then? If ever there was a team with a clear number 1 policy, Ferrari is it. To be fair though, it has worked well for them.

As clear as Red Bull I guess If you are saying Alonso has no1 written in his contract then I would love for some evidence of it.

Where did i mention he has it written into a contract? Your Ferrari fanboyism clouds what are generally very good posts in here. Oh and before you say it, Lewis is my favourite driver and McLaren were my team long before i started working for Red Bull
