Lewis Hamilton joins Mercedes F1 team!
A bit of a surprise for me, but Lewis Hamilton will be joining the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team next year!! This leaves Schumacher without a F1 seat next year.
Sergio Perez will join Mclaren to replace Lewis!!

Knew he was talking to MB, but didn't think he'd actually pull the trigger...leaving a top team like Mclaren.
I was just talking to a guy at work and he said wouldn't it be Karma if Schumi replaced Massa at Ferrari as the #2. I can just hear it now..."Michael can you let Fernando by".

I guess it is just time for a change. McLaren is a top team but its ultimate results have been disappointing with no Constructors Championships since 1998 and one Driver's World Championship (Lewis) during that time. Same story this season. Despite having the a very good car, botched pit stops, bad strategies and reliability issues will result in another shut-out this year. As a big McLaren fan it is very frustrating. Glad Lewis is keeping it in the Mercedes family.
