I think that at the time he retired, Alonso was at a similar level of performance to Schumy so if you put Alonso in the Ferrari, I think we have a realistic "real world" theory.

IMO, the Ferrari is the fastest car out there this year and the reason Hamilton is leading the WDC is a combination of driver and team getting the maximum out of the package whereas Ferrari, Massa and Kimi have shown some blistering pace but have not managed consistency.

The car is a great car but they haven't managed to realise it's potential whereas McLaren and Lewis have maximised their opportunities as have BMW and Kubica.

If there was a Schumacher or Alonso in the Ferrari and the team were performing at the level we know they can, then I think it would likely be a Redfest.
