Gotta say, I'd be interested to hear the reasoning behind that theory.
I mean, whenever these type of things crop up, there's usually
some theory behind it all which does, kinda, make sense, even if you don't believe it.
Like with the whole "Mercedes are sabotaging Hamilton's car" thing, it's almost certainly nonsense but the
idea that somebody at Merc' might want to force out a Brit' driver so that there's a seat for Vettel kind of makes a bit of sense, sort of. Possibly.
To be clear, I can't see it
myself but I
can understand the reasoning that'd lead people to that opinion.
I can't really see how that works with the Kimi thing though.
Seems like Ferrari have been doing their best to help Alonso to a WDC for the last few years and, for this year, they've abandoned that idea in favour of hoping that two top drivers would net them enough points for a Constructor's championship even if neither of them won the WDC.
What's the benefit of nobbling Kimi?

Is there somebody waiting in the wings to take over his seat? Is there some reason why they might want to make Alonso look good at Kimi's expense? Is there some reason why they might want to finish 4th rather than 3rd in the Constructor's championship? Was it part of some great conspiracy to make the F1 team look bad and get Montezuma fired?
I can't see any reason (however implausible) for this idea.
