As an insult to the spirit of news reporting, I would like to talk about something which took place almost a year ago.
That is, Fernando Alonso swapping drives with Heikki Kovalainen.
No, I'm not going to talk about politics or any backroom stuff. I want to go back in time as I have finally found the real reason behind the swap.
Their helmet colours.
The good news is, I'm not going to say much this time around. Just check the pictures below and you'll understand why Alonso was so eager to return to Renault, while McLaren was more than happy to take on Kovalainen.
Alonso's helmet while with Renault, the first time around. See how well they mesh with one another.
Alonso with McLaren in 2007. The clash in his original helmet's colour scheme meant that he had to change his helmet design.
Now Alonso is back with Renault. He has gone back to his original helmet design with a little twist.
As for Kovalainen, this is how he looked like while driving for Renault in 2007.
And this is how he looks like with McLaren this year. See how well they fit with one another.
Moral of the story: Having a helmet with a colour scheme of blue, yellow and red will increase the likelihood of driving for Renault. If you want to drive for McLaren, try a lot of red, silver and black in your helmet design.
