I can't help but think he's made this decision in anger rather than logical thought, on the one hand it seems that whenever Hamilton has the title in his grasp McLaren somehow blow up in his face, but on the other hand at Mercedes he probably won't even get remotely close to winning the title even with 100% reliability, short of them making a big leap like Ferrari did a decade ago.
Hamilton to Mercedes? BBC

Good riddance, I don't like him, he's a mardy brat who is inconsistent and too full of self worth. I see career decline and then paling into insignifcance.
Also, good on Perez

Which may well happen, this seems like a gamble on 2014 regs. And that no one can guess what will happen. However it will give him a year to meld with the team and his engineers and off course have input into car design.

Isn't it somewhat ironic that Jenson button Left Brawn to go to McLaren and now Lewis Hamilton is leaving McLaren to go to Brawn (Mercedes)
Soldato
lol wut
We already knew that mercedes ran their team with equal drivers as it was reported that Rosberg's contract states that he would be equal to whoever the other driver is. Why would Mercedes suddenly change this and go against an existing contract just because it's Hamilton.

Or annoy his engineers. God help Mercedes if he has any input into the design...
They haven't, they are still equal.
In the world of Twitter, JB has apparently this morning stopped following Hamilton, and immediately started following Perez
Probably the only reason they signed him. Wouldnt be my first choice.
Wonder if McLaren will drop the Mercedes engine now? McLaren Ferrari anyone?
Define foreseeable future and I will take a bet....
Friends over the pond are saying they are hearing Perez people paid 30m to get him in a mclaren
Can't see they needed to but stranger things have happened.
I also don't believe for a minute that Mercedes will not offer the world to Lewis and not give him no1 status. Lewis would have been after it and who could blame him.
Telmex McLaren Mercedes?
Or should that be Telmex McLaren McLaren...
Yeah, and massive amount of money.
Soldato
Only if they operate in the same markets, which I'm not sure they do?
Pretty sure the Vodafone deal ends next year and I guess Telmex will take over.
Soldato
Do Vodafone and Telmex even compete?
Richest man in the world sponsorship though. Woop
