Yes, on paper a Button/Alonso pairing seems stronger, but you have 2 entirely different drivers. Alonso is more aggressive and wants a more direct car, whereas Button is the smooth British racer. That's why imo the Alonso-Hamilton pairing is far more stronger than a Alonso-Button pairing. Alonso and Hamilton have a similar aggressive style.Phil wrote:In my personal opinion, I think Button / Alonso would be the stronger pairing. Button may not shine when the car is fighting among the midfield, but when the car is right and fast (which it just might be), I think he could be quite a contender to Alonso, perhaps similar to how he managed to impress alongside Lewis through smart driving. If anything, he is a very consistent performer, which I think is what the team needs.
Magnussen has not impressed me honestly, but then again; it's always hard to judge two drivers when a car is not performing well. Which is why I think Perez got shafted a bit unfairly out of McLaren a bit quick last year as well, and perhaps why Magnussen may be this year, if he doesn't get to stay on.
Perhaps the extension or option time of Multi year deal than entire new contract ??SectorOne wrote:Scratch that, it seems his deal was for one year only,SectorOne wrote:Pretty sure Perez already has a two-three year contract,

There is that possibility (of going to Lotus), its a reality, but my priority and focus is to renew Force India, I want to build, I want to have a second year with better results. "

You are right. Their driving styles aren't that similar perhaps. I was more operating on the assumption that if the car proves reasonably competitive that Button might overal perform better. I also think he gets the best out of himself when he is up against a fast team-mate; at least, I think he performed brilliantly against Hamilton and I do think that he would surprise a few up against Alonso. I also think that would be less of a destructive pairing. Both Button and Alonso aren't the youngest anymore though, so assuming Alonso does join McLaren, perhaps it would be wise indeed to go with a younger driver that could develop into a worthy contender.WaikeCU wrote:Yes, on paper a Button/Alonso pairing seems stronger, but you have 2 entirely different drivers.

except history has proven the pairing Button-Hamilton worked perfectly, and they both were fighting at the front. Button even came second in the WDC in 2011. I'd say having 2 different drivers actually has it's benefits; making the need to have an allround strong car even more important.WaikeCU wrote:

Then Mattiacci has a real problem, he can't fire Alonso or Raikkonen and has a pre-contract with Vettel!
