Lewis has been with McLaren since 2007, and has had 27 wins with the team. It's been a very good career so far. He wants to move and grow up as he says. But to Mercedes? sorry but I think this is a mistake but anyway!
He started off in karting before McLaren Signed him to the silver car and It was announced prior to the start of the season that Hamilton would be partnering defending double World Champion Fernando Alonso who had joined McLaren after leaving Renault. On his debut at the Australian Grand Prix, he finished third in the race, becoming the thirteenth driver to finish on the podium in his first F1 career! At the time, Hamilton broke Bruce McLaren's record of being the youngest driver to ever lead the world championship in 2008 .
It's been tough over the years for him, bad seasons Hamilton's relationship with McLaren team boss Ron Dennis dates back to 1995,[85] with the first indication that Hamilton was unhappy with his team and has been good seasons but he all ways came out fighting and driving throw the pack his skills will be very much missed at McLaren i'm sure .
But as he moves on to his new team he will have a tough season a head of him new car new team to get to grips with and that's on top of a new team mate, Nico Rosberg. Nico is a very good diver but some times tends to be aggressive on track.
Maybe this will be a good partnership for each over Lewis hes leadership and Nico skills and ability to calm down on track.
I wish Lewis all the best
Mclaren will miss you and your driving skills . All the best for the 2013 season
