*The year is 2007. The scarlet garage of Maranello vibrates with anticipation as Kimi Raikkonen steps up, the new heir to Michael's throne. He tears through the field, snatching the championship from McLaren's grasp in his debut season.

Then, the pace vanishes. He drops from a tenth faster to a tenth slower than Massa. You, the head strategist, are baffled. The truth is cold: Santander demands a Spanish driver. Alonso is coming. Massa stays for Brazil; Kimi is the sacrifice. They sabotage his suspension after Spain, knowing he’s still faster. And Kimi? He knows nothing.*
