Of course it happens AFTER Alonso retires. I think out of the many career moves he had, only 1 was hugely successful and it was his decision to join Renault for the first time.

The moves to McLaren and Ferrari were successful. He could’ve and arguably should’ve won 2007 and 2010.

At McLaren he was beaten by a rookie Lewis Hamilton. He was offered a seat at Red Bull during the blown diffuser era but rejected it and chose Ferrari. Considering Red Bull took four consecutive constructors’ titles during this period, I’d say that he had a much better option.
