Stupid move by Lewis. But like I said before, if he wants to be considered one of the all time greats, winning in Mercedes will do that. If he won in McLaren for his entire career, he will never reach the status of Schumacher or Vettel or Senna.
What about Perez? He moved up two steps by skipping Ferrari. Let's see if he's going to step it up with the consistency. You snooze you lose, di Montezemolo? We shall see. Does that mean Massa will be sticking around? Probably not.
At least for now, it looks like a two horse race next year between Vettel and Alonso.

while i dont believe lewis made the right move, I'm still gonna be following him to mercedes haha
Thing is, and dont leave mercedes out just yet. They are gonna have their AMG team helping them with the new engines. And we all know they have amazing experience with turbocharged engines.
I wonder if Mclaren will still be in contract with them in 2014.

I don't think that's a proper analogy speed. AMG is going to be a full-on factory effort by MBZ cloaked in AMG clothing. It'll still be MBZ to the bone.

MB F1 is/was Ilmor (created by ex-Cosworth engineers Illien and Morgan), which was bought by MB in the 90's. They have brought some of the internal MB people into the company, wouldn't surprise me if AMG engineers are also involved.

On the positive side for next year's Fantasy F1 competition, I'll have 4 Hamilton picks at mid-season if MBZ continues floundering around like they are this season.

Hamilton's lack of sportmanship, after signed onto Mercedes.
Button disappointed Hamilton revealed McLaren secrets
Published on 04 Sep 2012 11:36
Jenson Button has revealed he is "disappointed" Lewis Hamilton gave away McLaren secrets last weekend at Spa. In trying to show his million Twitter followers why he was so much slower than the sister McLaren in qualifying, Hamilton published a highly-confidential telemetry image that also contained sensitive information about ride heights and acceleration rates.
The 2008 world champion was reportedly scolded behind closed doors for the breach, although team boss Martin Whitmarsh and communications chief Matt Bishop have been trying to play down the affair.
"Very surprised and, yes, disappointed," Button answered when asked how he feels about the Hamilton incident.
"We work so hard to improve the car and to keep things like that secret and private. I didn't want to see it on Twitter. It was the whole telemetry from qualifying."
Button also said he thought Hamilton was making an irrelevant point about the 6 tenth top-speed difference between the new and old wing specifications.
"He (Hamilton) should be gaining it back in the corners because he's got more downforce on. And I was eight tenths quicker in qualifying anyway," Button insisted.
Gary Anderson, a former F1 technical chief who now works for the British broadcaster BBC, said the fact Hamilton opened a "cupboard" of McLaren secrets to the world "shows how naive" the Briton is, and "how little he understands the big picture".
McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe played down the damage.
"The data in there isn't any great use to anyone, so I don't think there is much damage done," he said.
But the BBC cited an unnamed engineer who said rival teams could 'work out how McLaren were running their car' from the telemetry sheet.
Former long-time McLaren driver David Coulthard wrote in the Telegraph: "Teams go to great lengths to protect that sort of information. "I remember when I started out there used to be bin hokers who would go through the rubbish bins of rival teams on a Monday after a race, searching for just such telemetry.
"Nowadays everyone has shredders in their motor homes and high-tech security on their computers. "It's another lesson learned for Lewis, I'm afraid."
Former Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari added: "I would never do something like this because it is a kick in the teeth to confidentiality, to yourself and to your team, who are all working so you can do your best and the company can improve." (GMM)

Paddy Lowe: "Lewis, we're planning a potential energy recovery system for the 2013 car. Whatever you do, don't tell this to Ross Brawn."
Hamilton: "Cool." frantically writing this down on the notepad

b/c he is a foolish tool that's why. Who leaves McLaren when you are in a #1 tier car? Oh yeah, someone who believes his magic will cure the car's chassis woes and transform it into a winning mfr. Fuckin' idiot.
