How Kimi and Fernando were basically stuck together until Kimi retired
Kinda funny how Kimi and Fernando debuted together in F1 in the same year (2001), proceeded to race together and fight for title in 2005 when Fernando won his first WDC with Renault.
Skip to 2007, Kimi moved to Ferrari and Nando took Kimi's Mclaren seat, that same year, Nando's reign over the WDC was toppled by Kimi who still is the last Ferrari driver who won WDC.
Fast forward to 2010, Kimi left F1 to drive WRC and again, Fernando took Kimi's seat to fill in Ferrari's vacancy. He got the car number 8 that year and guess what? Kimi's WRC car has number 8 too!
If you guys didn't believe me:
In 2012, Kimi came back to F1 and drove for Lotus F1 Team, which was also known as Renault before they changed the name in 2012. So it's basically Renault, that's my point.
Even though they almost crossed path as teammates, multiple times. They only spent a year as teammates in 2014. Making it feel like supply and demand diagram.
I'm sorry for ruining it for this...
We skipped to 2018 and Fernando decided to walk out from F1 because he was driving a wheelie bin for 4 years. Guess what? He fucking came back after two years just like Kimi did in 2012. This time he came back to his old team, Renault that was now rebranded to Alpine. Literally homage to Kimi's come back in 2012.
What the fuck?
Anyway. I'm done yapping about these two.
