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.
