Not sure if that's a good move or not

Perez in the Mclaren will be an interesting combination though RRS gone

Likewise, not a great fan of his to be honest, but can't see this as a particularly good move. It's sideways at best, if not a small step back. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Indeed... Mercedes have been hard on their tyres all season....and Lewis is historically hard on his tyres also... the combination will equal a fast Hamilton that pits before everyone else and thus loses out. RRS gone

I think its a tactical move by Mercedes, because for the first time next season Mclaren will have to pay for their engines off Mercedes so probably can't afford Lewis's demands for a pay rise and afford to pay for their engines aswel, Like i say a tactical move by Mercedes
Agree, perez in a Mclaren should be very intresting

The money these guys earn, you'd have hoped badge/team honor would trump a payrise.

I bet Ferrari pay their drivers less, but the chance to race for them is a bigger q dos. RRS gone

Im not majorly interested, but i do think its a dumb move...he will probably wont win another world championship for a while if at all in a merc

Just because he couldnt be no 1 in Mcclaren and make more sponsorship money Mike

Doesn't matter who he drives for, if he continues to be with women that screw his head up he will remain off his game.

Sad but true, the moment he got with Nicole Sherzinger the moment his driving went under.

if shes screwing with his head, i can understand his frustration, that said, if i woke up with her i wouldnt be in a rush to go to work..... If you took some fog and put it in a jar, would it be missed.
