Regardless of whether some of you like or detest Ferrari, they are the ones who started Formula One many many decades ago and they have the established pedigree, such that all (99% of) drivers aspire to drive for them. Alonso fits into their family and Italian culture extremely well and I remember hearing him say a while ago that when he leaves Ferrari it will be to retire.
I'm sure that Lewis would love to be successful in a Ferrari but he has grown up (literally) with McLaren and they would have to fail him badly for him to move. Perhaps sometime in the future.
Lewis and Jenson make great team mates - They want to beat each other but they seem to be genuine friends.

Where do you get this "Ferrari started Formula One"? :confused:
I can't find anything that says it was Ferrari's sport but then again that would explain the FIA's attitude towards them.
vRS Carl:
I thought it came about when the FIA made the rules for a world championship (or something like that from a documentary I watched a while ago) back in the 50's or maybe earlier. But could be wrong.
Edit - Here we are, not sure how accurate it is from wikipedia :laugh:

Ferrari is the only survivor of the original Italian teams which developed what we now call F1.
Ferrari is the team with the best pedigree and track record. It's the 'Godfather'.
