Surprised about the Hamilton bit, as I'd think that, after 2007, they would be discouraged and cringe at the thought of teaming up with each other, because they both want #1 status.

The number one status or at least being treated equally works fine presently at McLaren with Jenson and Lewis, so I doubt Lewis would have too much of a problem going up against Fernando. You have to remember that in 2007 Lewis was brand new to the sport and was getting equal support from the team which Alonso felt was unfair as he thought he'd earnt number one status. Thats very different now because Hamilton is an acomplished driver and a World Champion, so these guys probably have alot more respect for each other. I wouldn't want to see Lewis go to Ferrari as IMO you can't really top McLaren, and hope its Vettel who makes this move.
