I do believe McLaren owes him a bit of gratitude.... I suspect they would not be positioned where they are today had he not taken a flier and went to work for them (again). Could he have handled the whole Honda thing a little better.... or course.

As it sits, I suspect he will go down as the greatest unfulfilled potential in F1 history. As I said in a prior post, I believe he still has something to offer.

He has alluded to wanting to return to F1, if only a team wanted him. It would be fun to watch him in a top team instead of trying to drag an underperforming team up to the top.

At least that's my 2 cents.
Alonso should have had more than two world championships all being fair in F1 which it is not and knocking on 39 now the American scene suits him better together with the upcoming Paris-Dakar entry. I think that any offer to him from F1 now is unlikely.
