Nah. Kimi wouldn'tve had problems with Alonso, but he also would have NEVER understood that Fernando is quicker than him.

Well for starters, Kimi wouldn't have had Rob Smedley and whoever Kimi had, probably wouldn't have told him to, due to him being a threat to the championship. And even if he was told to, he'd say "bathplug off, I ain't moving over"

Problem is Fisichella is a sufferer of Fisichellaitis. He's more epic than pretty much anyone in a midfield car yet he was completely outclassed with his big chance at a top team.

Other sufferers include Kovaleinen, Capelli and to an extent Frentzen.

Well, Fisi might have been a bit over the top, or a bit... uhm, too used with bad cars when he finally got his Renault chance. I'm sure he would've done better earlier in his career.

I wish we could've seen Kimi with a stroppy team-mate. It wouldve been entertaining to see him not only not react to any mind-games but also not be aware of them in the first place.

Michael Schumacher and any realistic championship challenger.

Specifically Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso or even Jacques Villeneuve (circa 1996-7).

Nobody's said Vettel and Hamilton. Well this. (Especially 2009 and early-mid 2010 spec Vettel. If they were both 2011 spec then Hamilton would be even more of a #2 than Webber!!!) :)

A pairing Marques/Rosset would be rejectfully epic.

Just for the fun in the press conference, I think Hakkinen/Raikkonen would be good too.

For on-track action, I would love to have an Alonso/Hamilton pairing back (with fair and equal chances). I think that Hamilton/Kobayashi would be great too.

How about Jaime Alguersuari/Slim Borgudd for a musical driver lineup? Though you'd need a time machine...

Alternatively, you could go with the slightly more possible Alguersuari/Jacques Villenuve lineup.

Also, I think a Jenson Button/Mark Webber lineup would be somewhat interesting.

In IndyCar: Bourdais/Franchitti (both four time champs, in different series though.)
