Put it this way....

Alonso didn't get bumped/dropped by Ferrari, it is Honda/McLaren who wants Alonso.... thus this transaction.

Meanwhile... since Alonso haven't got any title for Ferrari... and someone is willing to payoff his contract, then why not give Vettel a try when Vettel is fed up with the current RBR.

Regarding Raikkonen.... nobody wants him, thus he has to stay.

However... is Raikkonen really the guy to blame? Or Ferrari is the one who should take the blame??

Given the performance and points gap between raikkonen and alonso, I say raikkonen has been underachieving and not necessarily his car.

Right, but as far as the drivers go one has clearly outperformed the other.
