Raikkonen's Ferrari exit ends a great F1 fallacy
The belief that Ferrari is getting rid of Kimi Raikkonen just as he has rediscovered his mojo doesn't really add up, as shown by a proper look at the numbers and glancing beyond his occasional peaks

He offers nothing to the media, yet remains one of the most powerful sources of interest.

He is withdrawn to the point of being standoffish, yet fans think his words and actions are gold dust.
