Pongo una parte
The tension and needling are clearly there, albeit still a little way below the surface, following two world championship showdowns in the space of two years. Having lost both, Alonso must be incredibly determined to finally beat Vettel in 2013; the German, for his part, knows Alonso to be his chief rival heading in to the new campaign. When Vettel picked up the best racing driver gong at the recent Autosport Awards, it was greeted with a collective ‘hang on’ by the racing community. It was pretty well acknowledged that Alonso – love him or loathe him – was the stand-out driver of 2012. Not that Seb wasn’t awesome, but better than Alonso? Few would argue it.
The plot thickens. If rumours are to believed the two will be Ferrari team-mates in 2014. Unlikely as it may seem, a number of journos – not least Will Buxton, who seems utterly convinced of it – assert that Seb will slot in alongside Fernando the season after next. That would result in the finest driver line-up since a winter day in late 1987 when Ron Dennis introduced a man named Alain to his new team-mate, a man named Ayrton, and asked the two to play nice for the next few years. If it happens, sparks simply can’t help but fly.
Vettel vs. Alonso isn’t there yet, but it’s got ample time to mature. The pair will start 2013 as title favourites and, if Ferrari and Red Bull deliver strong cars, could well scrap over another world title. It would raise the tension still further on this potentially explosive rivalry – and that we’d definitely like to see.
