I happen to now think that McLaren 'bet on the wrong horse' at the end of 2007.
In launching/forcing/letting him go - when Alonso left, he is the super elite class of one in F1.
Bit like Prost in the mid 80's and Schuey from '96-'99, he is doing a super job in clearly not the best car, especially given how bad it looked in race 1.
That said Vettel was walking it though today, but gotta be "in it to win it." Even though that all sounds a bit Dale Winton.
