It was recently announced that British f1 racer Lewis Hamilton will be leaving the McLaren team and will replace the seven champ Schumacher that will leave Mercedes after a not very successful three year comeback to formula one, having had only one podium (3rd in Valencia).Schumacher´s future in not certain as he has no confirmed team for the 2013 season.
Hamilton started driving for McLaren on the start of the 2007 season partnering Fernando Alonso, since then Hamilton won 20 races (up to the writing of this post) and won the 2008 championship.
He will be leaving McLaren on good hands though, as it was announced that Sauber´s Sergio Perez will race alongside Jenson Button.
Some consider that Hamilton is choosing the wrong side, McLaren (7 races won) has seen a far better season than Mercedes AMG´s (1 race won). But i agree with the Brit when he said "Mercedes-Benz has such an incredible heritage in motorsport, along with a passion for winning which I share"
2013 will surely be an interesting season as Sergio Perez has shown he has the capacity to be a winner and Hamilton is always a menacing race-winning driver. Lets see what happens to die-hard Schumacher that is understanding about the decision and is very happy about the three years lived with Mercedes.
Sauber is not rushed about their decision for the next season and hopes that Perez will finish a great 2012 season with them.
