1) In June of 2012, while I was in Poland for the European Football Championship , I hear that Raikkonen has offered his service to ferrari. . At the time seemed imminent firing of massa , so the blond has made his move with timely effectiveness.
2 ) In July of 2012, before leaving for the London Olympics , I go to dinner with Stefano Domenicali . The other two diners were my lady and Fernando Alonso , who was celebrating his birthday.
3 ) We agreed ( conditio sine qua non , that we are here ourselves) that we would not have talked about F1. And so it was . With one exception. I asked Fernando: if in the future you have a chance of getting Raikkonen as your team mate, would you take it???
4 ) Response Alonso : It is not true that I am scare, all the mess with Hamilton was born because the entire team was deployed with him. If Kimi came here I would not have any problems, we think. we respect each other , then you'll see who goes on the race track faster .
5) Also in the summer. Domenicali had two meetings with the Holy Drinker . There was an agreement in principle , as I was told in London during the final basketball game between US- Spain .
6) But it lacked the presidential ratification . Montezemolo was not opposed to the idea , but not enthusiastic. There he and I saw each other at a late summer afternoon , when the seat of Massa still dancing. Claiming innocence , i threw the name of the Blond before him . The president was very honest : '' not now , he said, now would be premature.''
7) And so in practice a year passes . Incidentally, here as well , for a long time , has been made a lot of confusion epilogue of the first experience of Raikkonen in Maranello . It 's true that it was decided to focus on Alonso , another sample. An Option that's not scandalous , if one thinks without prejudices . But it is not true that Ferrari has ' disgraced ' Kimi , this is a fantasy of utter idiots. . It 'was the media circus, the waiters that took action , imagining that to please the boss . The servants never fail , but to say that the jokes di Montezemolo made on the ' Phantom twin of kimi raiiknen ' (which he also did with massa BTW
) were offensive is ridiculous, then what should people say about Alonso after the presidents comment post Hungary this year ' ?
8) By the way, I knew that Domenicali was always kept in touch with Raikkonen , even when the Blond was cheerfully in the rally.
9) in 2013, the beginning of July . The rumor spread that Raikkonen has signed for Red Bull (who sponsored their rallying ) . I meet the Dom and I inquire concerning this hypothesis. He looks at me and laughs. I do not understand . Tell me why guffaws , I ask him . Answer: for now just know that only the Red Bull wants him seriously, but he has not signed and I think he will not sign it. Not for them .
10) At this point , things are made (finally!) to run. I know that Alonso was informed before the Hungary . He was told that this was the intention of the Scuderia , that there was a negotiation in progress and that the Ferrari was expected that Fernando would honor its commitment to long-term whoever was designated as his partner.
11) Alonso said: works for me . If you think seriously or not is another matter , however, and we'll find out just living .
12) In Budapest Raikkonen has signed a preliminary contract for the 2014-2015 period . The document was subject to the final approval of the president Montezemolo .
13) I have written to you the famous story del'usato safe during the break in August. On my paper column i have been more explicit , calling it as 'done'. I took a big risk , but I knew I could trust . And it was very funny, in the following weeks , encounter , at every level, the incredulity of those who just wanted to be there (to publish it beforehand) , couldn't accept it, would go back now untenable judgement, etc.
14) When the article was on my papers with the announcement of the return of Raikkonen, there was a line to the beginning of the piece: Montezemolo decided. The President made me call his emissary, to inform me that they had not yet decided. I sent an sms. Text: and then decide, this is the right thing to do and she knows very well.
15) L ' made it.
16) in conclusion, the Patagonia is the ideal place for those who must be prepared to play from goaltender in ice hockey team of Fanano. (i have no idea what it means :stoned
