It’s a remarkable fall from grace for the Enstone team, but one which was not entirely unexpected. The loss of lead driver Kimi Raikkonen (who had 85 of those 111 points) was always going to be costly, as were other key departures...

In the process, the best ones usually end up spending at least a year or two at the “dream” team—the constructor either they, the team or their fans would love to see them at. But sometimes these dream partnerships never comes to pass. A driver who would suit a team for emotional,...
