Imagine Hamilton without a seat in 2013??
Pretty sure you need two drivers in a team.I think he means with the current driver (Massa) which holds some truth.
I was thinking he meant Massa and another driver (not Alonso).Pretty sure you need two drivers in a team.
So if you remove Alonso then automatically you have a driver in his seat.
Mind you it´s not only Alonso that has put him has the leader. Many things have happened around him that allowed him to be leading the championship.Yes, many drivers might be able to win.
How many would be leading the championship with that car, though? Specially with how much of a pig it was during the first races. Probably just Hamilton from there, although he might have lost points from crashes. Perhaps Schumacher, too.
Still, Ferrari doesn't NEED Alonso. He's an asset to the team for sure, but they could replace him if he wasn't worth it.
Another small thing is that Paddy Lowe has said next years car will be designed for Hamilton.

Explanation to why he looked sad in Monza as well. Pretty understandable.
