Still, Lewis could be able to take MacLarens latest development with him to Mercedes.
They won't be in the position to get another title for the next couple of years (Button too slow, Perez too inexperienced) so they better support him.
Will Button support him, the team?
The last chance for Lewis to get a WDC in perhaps many years.
I´m moore concerned for all Lewis fans, starting now. With Mercedes, is it the car or the driver.
I heard Mercedes were scaling back their program anyway...?
Maybe they only said that to try to get Mike to lose interest and walk, so they wouldn't have to push him? :(
I don't really have much faith in Mercedes. I think they should put some investment in their team.
Signing Lewis IS quite an investment.
A simple tweet will do it :)Quote:

Its changed a bit now I think. In the old days drivers would be testing for next years car and teams would take the driver off testing after he signed for a new team.
I suppose he will be kept away a bit more from Factory sessions, but on the whole he wont miss much.
I hope Lewis still has a chance of the world title. Although I think it will be tough.
If the teams did not care about winning WDCs then we would not have had the practice of team orders at some teams.
But Whitmarsh is convinced Hamilton is damaging his chances of emulating his
hero Ayrton Senna in becoming a triple world champion by leaving McLaren.
"Mercedes is a great partner of ours and they are a great team,"
Whitmarsh said. "But for anyone leaving McLaren, and he wants to win, I think
that's a mistake because I have faith and belief in this team.

Of course it is a mistake to leave Mclaren for Merc!
I am not sure how close he will ever come to winning a race again.
This is very illogical considering him wanting to be in a winning car.
Lewis has just become JV!
