Few drivers have managed to usurp Kimi Raikkonen on the race track and also at a racing outfit. But then, Fernando Alonso has always been the rarest among rare talents.

At the completion of a rather sedate 2009 F1 season for Ferrari, Kimi would find himself on the way out only to make space for the former double world champion to go behind the wheel at the 'Prancing Horse.'

In 2010, Fernando Alonso would drive what is still considered his greatest ever season post his whirlwind successes at Renault that was realized in 2005 and 2006.

Second only to Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull, 'El Nino' secured 5 race wins, grabbed 10 podium finishes, collected some nerve-wracking moments and also stopped hearts courtesy a mega first year at the Scuderia.

This, however, wasn't enough to control a flying Vettel at the Red Bull.
