I remember at the time thinking that was possibly the worst career move in the history of F1. Like so many before him, he was betting on a team improving while leaving a team at the top of their game. Who knew he'd have another championship after two seasons with the team (and another six after 8 seasons)? Meanwhile, McLaren worked their way down the grid to backmarker status despite having two WDC's at the helm. Their results got so bad that Ron Dennis got fired! Who could have seen that coming?
