called it!!!!!! just been broken on sky sports news this morning that lewis hamilton is going to mercedes and sergio perez is replacing him

hamilton is replacing michael schumacher mercedes have confirmed

Why would you want to move to a team with less chance of winning

Lewis is going to look stupid if Perez wins the title next session..

i think this is the wrong move for lewis,there is a more chance of being in a championship winning car with mclaren than with mercedes,although its looks like mercedes are going to make him outright number one driver and build the team around him,bit of a kick in the nuts for nico, all the same i wish him well , but ill still be staying a mclaren fan,go jenson,go sergio

think long term it could be a good move for lewis to join mercedes because in 2014 there is a massive change in the rules in F1, especially in the engines which will change from the current V8's to turbocharged V6's and feels its best to be at a team that makes its own engines. rather than at mclaren who are a customer team for mercedes. also mercedes have already started work on their 2013 car to.

also can benefit lewis off track being associated with a world famous brand mercedes rather than a lesser known brand in comparison mclaren

also mercedes have allowed hamilton to have personal endorsements/sponsors which mclaren did not allow him to have. brawn has the history of making a quality car with the right drivers in them for example schumacher at benetton and then at ferrari where brawn was at both. i think hamilton was becoming abit stale at mcleren and needs a fresh start with another team. i think mercedes are about a year or 2 away from having a car that can challenge for both drivers and constructors titles.

there is the possiblity of another us race this time in new jersey, i hope they mow down the jersey shore cast.

i would like to see more f1 races at night, the cars look great under lights.

japan, south korea, india, abu dabhi, us, brazil are the remaing races for this season.

1 Fernando Alonso 194
2 Sebastian Vettel 165
3 Kimi Raikkonen 149
4 Lewis Hamilton 142
5 Mark Webber 132
6 Jenson Button 119

this is going to be close. alonso should win it if ferrari dont suffer any break downs.

must say i was suprised at Hamilton moving to Mercedes i would have thought if it's titles he wants to win Mclaren would have been a better option i cant see Mercedes getting near the front.

michael schumacher has retired from f1 from the end of the season

I think that he may have had a clue to retire when Mercedes signed Lewis Hamilton for next season....

In reality Schumacher's retirement has been known for some time. Bernie Ecclestone accidentally announced it a month ago.

things have just got very interesting in the championship
