I made a point on another forum, but I think people are downplaying the pull Alonso has. I don't think he dictates what he does 100%, but I really believe he has more say in it now thanks to his status. I believe he made a deal to stay with McLaren with incentives allowed such as he can race where he feels. He's been coy in the media interviews, but when he tested with Toyota in Bahrain last year, I'm pretty sure he had the decision pretty much made. Lots of things happen behind the scenes that we won't get to know, but I know he has a lot of pull. Especially now that Honda are not the ones (that were supposedly) paying his contract.
