So the concept of Vettel and Alonso at Ferrari seems a probability and likely to happen.

Based on how Ferrari operated over 30 years ago?

No, based on how Ferrari operated as far back as... hmmm... 2009, so I guess less than 10 per cent of that!

Hmm, that doesn't make sense though cause you really think Alonso would allow Vettel there on equal number 1 terms? Nope, hence my actual point (ie Ferrari would have to be looking to get two of the best on the grid, something they haven't done for 30 odd years, over 20 if you count Mansell/Prost). So to claim it is a 'probability' and 'likely to happen' for Vettel to move based on what you are saying is frankly ridiculous. You could even put a stronger argument about Kubica going there, because there are actually rumours going around about that. But i wouldn't claim it's a probability.

Stefano Domenicali was asked this week at Wroom about Vettel coming to Ferrari, his answer was something like he's had a great season, never say never.

I think its patently wrong to think that Ferrari would sacrifice points to keep any driver happy. No-one wants Felipe to be a contender this year more than me, but I think if he doesn't perform he will be replaced and I think Vettel would be under consideration.

Following in his mentor's footsteps.

At the same event Alonso was asked about Kubica and in his opinion is the best driver in F1. Asked to him joining Ferrari to which he said he is happy with Felipe...

Oh I bet he is!!!!!

Well Massa is his team mate, why would he say anything that could disrupt the "unity" of the team?

Exactly...as long as he knows there is no 'internal' threat life is all good for Senor Fonzonso.

You should really learn how to type an ñ and add Alonso into your custom spell check dictionary.

The n thing I do need to learn, though the Fonzonso part was intentional.

I just found this quote....

"I know he is a two time world champion, but he is still slightly below the level of Lewis"
Fernando Alonso admits that he rates Lewis Hamilton above Sebastian Vettel

This Fonzonso character does have a sense of awareness I must say.

To be fair Vettel is one of the best drivers in f1 but he NOT the best, not by a longshot. For one thing he needs to be put up against a better team-mate as the fact that webber only won one race was pretty shocking given his talent and the fact he was in a red bull.

I know that he proved he was good in his toro rosso day's but for me that it not enough to justify him being compared to the greats of f1. In my opinion the best driver in f1 is alonso even though I do not like him!

Same old, same old...

So against what talented team mate has Alonso proven himself? And don't say Hamilton, because that's just self-referencing.
That's what irks me about the whole demeanor of anti-Vettel fans. Always looking for excuses to put him down. Saying you're not convinced is one thing, but saying he isn't that good because (in your eyes) he hasn't been tested is just rediculous.
