So what was that about?

Again, it is too early to say who is going to be the better of the two (Alonso or Hamilton) but it still makes me wonder what was thought process going through McLaren-Mercedes.

Did they want to create just marketing hype for a year to place Hamilton on the tabloids?

Did they want to make Hamilton champion by bringing home the enemy (Alonso) to fine tune the car and try to control him through the team?

Well, Hamilton is on the tabloids for sure. But he lost the championship because of sheer inexperience.

McLaren is 100+ millions out the money, no championships, the FIA breathing on their necks, a two-time champion leaving the team, and a rookie who pressed the wrong button ruling the roost.

Go figure...
