Never heard of Alesi and Berger?

Hey didn't Lewis win China last year?

Yes In a spectacular overtaking fashion, to become the first driver to win that GP twice. He should have won in 07 but for being left out too long on worn tyres and he did win in 08 with a masterful race from the front. In 09 he didnt have the car but still made it to 6th. 2010 he was 2nd and bearing down on Button after some more amazing overtakes to get back in position after loosing places with pitstops and tyres.
So yes, he goes well here, but who knows what fate has in store.

I see you wrote that he should have won in 07 except for his worn tires. Just like last year when Vettel was on 1 stop less than hamilton and his tires were worn towards the end. It was great of the team to get Hamy out their in time though. I will give you that

2007 was a bit more catastrophic than Vettel being on worn tyres last year, it not only lost the race but also the championship.
Lasy year was interesting. Lewis sacrificed quali to save an extra set of tyres for the race. The three stop only came about because the first round of stops went wrong. Jenson 'forgot' to come in on the right lap, then went in the wrong pit, so Lewis was left out too long, thats when they decided to switch to a three stop. He still overtook ...on track..Vettel twice, Button, Massa and Rosberg. Lewis rates it as one of his best wins up with Silverstone and Monaco.

Fundamentally though, Ruben's wasn't able to convince or negotiate better terms with Ferrari and it's not like their system didn't work out well.

Damn 3 week gap, what shall we talk about in the summer break?

Suicide, and how to overcome the urge!!!!

Was this response aimed at me?

Oh yeah, fantastic partnership...is it Alesi won a grand total of 1 race(s)? Or are you talking about a different Alesi.

Two weeks is too long between races imo

They were both fantastic drivers at a time when Ferrari were at best the 3rd team but an awsome pairing none the less.

When the sport became more corporate, any signs of great partnership flew out the window. As I said earlier, it's impossible to find 2 strong drivers in Ferrari in the modern era. They seem to always go for a 'superstar' and a backup driver. Kimi was the only one who screwed them in 2008 with his average performance, but other than that it's working out for them.

"I lost a solid fourth place so that's obviously disappointing," Vettel said. "Sometimes you let some emotion show and I don't think someone should be ashamed about that. It's part of the sport."

Marko added that Red Bull will be having a word with the slower teams to ensure there is not a repeat of the incident.

"We have told our team manager to talk to both Marussia and Hispania about getting their drivers to simply pay more attention," he said. "They are driving in another league, they're six or eight seconds slower, and so they need to watch out more than they do. They are 12 points Vettel lost that could be crucial in the world championship."

And he defended Vettel's reaction: "You've just been in a race, you've seen the chance of possibly a third place go away - you're naturally upset because he's a human as well. I think we can understand an emotional reaction."

I don't think any of the redbulls can win in China. Who knows though, maybe they have the car up to speed with this time off

[acosmichippo]

I'm hoping for a Jenson, Seb, and Kimi podium, with Hulk and Romain in the points. That would be just perfect.

[Hammer278]

More likely Hamilton, Webber, Kobayashi podium to make it perfect.

[LewEngBridewell]

I would like to see a McLaren 1-2 with Bruno Senna 3rd in the Williams
