No one thought McLaren was in decline when the decision was made.
He took the risk and it paid off, it could just have easily gone tits up instead.

The '07 spy scandal where McLaren Mercedes were fined £100 million for knowingly stealing Ferrari secrets when a quick thinking copy shop owner in Surrey informed police when he spotted what was going on may have had a bearing on Hamilton winning the championship the following year.
