@Nando,

IMHO Raikkonen+Grosjean is better than Button+Perez. Raikkonen is better than Button, and Grosjean is quicker than Perez. Both pretty well documented me thinks.

Speed wise maybe, but when you are getting banned because you can´t make it through lap 1 in 7 races this year you are not better then either Button or Perez :)

im looking at the total package, not just speed.

No question about Kimi, Grosjean is even quicker!, he has been setting down a marker for all the hot shots, don't mess with me!, Im no pushover, I think Hamilton has got the message loud and clear.

And what if Schumi joins Scuderia for a year? In some strange twist of fate? That would very well be the strongest line-up. Longshot as it is, I'd go with Vettel/Webber, and as said - Massa (from the start of the year) brings everybody down...

This has got me thinking - if the Vettel-2014-Ferrari rumor turns out to be true, then Ferrari (from an external viewpoint, and internal, barring any 07-McLaren style implosion) would very well have THE pairing of the decade.

I'm no Ferrari fan - but they'd probably sow up the WCC a couple of months early! :lol:

would love to see that so we could do some pseudo-comparisons.

I don't follow. What's a "pseudo-comparison?"

Look at Hamilton/Alonso = equal
Look at Alonso/Vettel = x
Look at Hamilton/Vettel = pseudo comparison with Alonso as yard stick.

For example if Alonso wrecks Vettel like he did Massa then we can get a clearer picture on how it would look with VET/HAM in the same car.

So basically a deductive comparison based on common teammates, right?

Eg. HAM = ALO, so if ALO = VET, HAM must = VET?

hence the "psuedo"

No facts can be drawn but we can see how it goes and draw some parallels between all three.

Kimi is over rated, he keeps his nose out of trouble which is why he is where he is in the WDC, but Gorsjean has shown him up this year. He clearly has more outright pace that Kimi.
