Lewis Hamilton rules out Fernando Alonso as teammate

Lewis Hamilton has said that he will never again be paired with a driver like Fernando Alonso.

The Briton made his Formula 1 debut over a decade ago alongside then-reigning world champion Alonso at McLaren.

"That will never happen," he told Stuttgarter Zeitung about the prospect of teaming up with Alonso again.

"Toto [Wolff] understands how the dynamics of a team works and compares it to a magnet. When two north poles meet, they repeal one another, so you need a north and a south pole.

"Two north poles results in negative energy, like in 2007 with Alonso and me."

Hamilton spent six years at McLaren before his switch to Mercedes.
