Formula One Sliding Doors

Thought I'd start up a bit of a fun thread here - based on RBR's news that they offered Alonso a deal for the 2009/10 season.

Current Scenario:
Alonso stays with Renault in 2009 - joins Ferrari in 2010, it is currently 2017 and Alonso is still a two-time WDC and has yet to add to the success of 2005/06.

Sliding Doors:
Alonso signs for Red Bull for the 2009 and 2010 season.
This move sees Mark Webber move to Renault
Jenson Button holds on for the 2009 title from Fernando Alonso and an impressive Sebastian Vettel, going all the way to the final race in Abu Dhabi.

Benefitting from the strong 2010 Red Bull, Alonso, despite some inter-team angst, wins the title, losing it to Vettel in 2011 but bouncing back in 2012/13 to become just the third ever five-time WDC, retiring from the sport at the end of the 2013 season.

The pre-2010 driver market sees a "retiring" Kimi Raikkonen leave Ferrari, with Robert Kubica moving to Ferrari, and never trying his hand at rallying. Kubica pushes Vettel and Alonso all the way in 2012 for Ferrari.

This is just one I cooked up - get creative, what other moments could have seen big different scenarios (Schumacher going to McLaren, Button going to Williams, Hamilton staying at McLaren...etc etc)
