He probably feels like you or I would if we were taking our road car to a garage for work and then we were not happy with the work carried out.What would we do,but take it to a different garage,so he is having a different car and going to a different garage for work on it,and getting a lot more money too !

For F1 it's probably a good move, as you would now hope there will be four top teams competing for wins and championships. Although I can't believe Hamilton has moved for anything other than money, which is a shame.

Money, yes. But he's been with McLaren since he was a wee lad, and I'll bet he's thinking that at his point in his career he need to make a change or be stuck there forever.

This is great for F1. Good for Hamilton. He's not doing it for the money. He's doing it because he believes he can win that way (the last bit is just my opinion).
And we should have at least a grudging nod towards my countryman in the ridiculous shirt...

I don't see why it may be a bad move on Hamilton's part. He may be tired of the same environment, he may like a new challenge and Mercedes is a works team who will build a everything around him most definitely. Whether they build a good or car or not it remains to be seem but that happens everywhere Ferrari, Red Bull, Renault....
As a fan I love the idea, we will get to see how good he is at dealing with a new team and developing a car/team which is close but not in the top.
I also think Button is the winner here, at least for the next season.There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

But can they do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D6KBqgNGDw
