    But as far as I heard it was not the strangest thing the ex-king did in the last couple of years ;)

    And at the same time he's not looking at shutting the Ferrari door. I am surprised that he's running back to Mclaren, considering how instable they are. The Honda engines are not even proven yet.

    Well lets see if he will live up to his word, or be a nomad again if the Mclaren doesn't perform in 2 season timeline.

    As sad as it is McLaren is the smarter move for 2015.

    It is the ONLY move for 2015 :). He'd have taken a sabbatical otherwise IMO. Or end up in Lemans, like Webber.

    True enough. But leaving Ferrari for Macca would be the smart move even if it wasn't forced.

    The Honda has more potential and the Scuderia will take time to get the new blood producing meaningful changes to the car.
    Macca doesn't stay down for long unlike some other teams.

    Keeping MAG would be a mistake, in my opinion. If BUT is out I hope he retires altogether, rather than going to a lesser series.

    Why do you think it was forced?
