My jaw dropped when I saw the news this morning. I've never really liked Hamilton's attitude and this decision just backs that up. He has his new management team telling him he's going to be a superstar with endorsement deals, more money, etc. from Mercedes. Except the fact that no one is going to care about him in a couple of years if he doesn't win anything with a non-proven team like Mercedes. It doesn't surprise me at all that Hamilton would turn his back on the people that have given him everything so far in his career.

On the other hand, good for Perez. He's made the most of his opportunity with Sauber to get himself into this position and he deserves it. I actually thought Di Resta had a shot at the McLaren seat with his Mercedes connection, but I guess he's been outshined by Perez for most of the year. Now what will Ferrari do with Massa's seat?
