"Lewis Hamilton to leave McLaren after signing Mercedes contract
By Andrew Benson
Chief F1 writer
Lewis Hamilton is to leave McLaren after signing a three-year deal to race for Mercedes from next season.
The move, predicted by BBC Sport's Eddie Jordan earlier this month, was announced on Friday, causing huge repercussions throughout Formula 1.
It has forced Michael Schumacher out of Mercedes but it is not clear whether the German legend will go back into retirement or look for another team."

Oh dear me…....

I read for £15m a year, plus the opportunity to have personal sponsors. And, he'll probably get the chance to keep the originals of any trophies he wins.

Looks like Perez took the second McLaren seat. I was hoping for Di Resta. Also hoping that Schumacher, while he should retire, takes the second Ferrari seat and pushes Massa out to IndyCar.

There is no chance now that Lewis will be a title contender. No more upgrades or development for his car. Must be kind of awkward, similar to living in a house with your wife while getting divorced.

Disappointed it wasn't DiResta taking the spot. He's shown proven pace and initiative whereas Perez isn't as consistent.

Maybe Lewis will be happy at Mercedes. McLaren has had a fast car this year but not reliable enough for todays standard.

I thoroughly enjoyed today's GP at Suzuka. Such an awesome track, always throws up plenty of action.
Watching Sebastian and Phillipe waiting for Kobayashi to congratulate him on his first GP podium almost brought a tear to my eye.
Big congrats to Kamui on a great race.

From the BBC today, regarding a frustrating Monaco GP;

McLaren driver Perez made a series of aggressive overtaking moves, in one of which he collided with Raikkonen.
Asked if the drivers would talk to Perez, Raikkonen said: "That won't help. Maybe someone should punch him in the face."
Perez said: "Kimi put me straight in the wall at the entry to the corner."

God I love Kimi Raikkonen

Well, he had less to lose by them both coming off than did Lewis…..

Anyone here into MotoGP? This was was my first year following and I'm going through withdrawal after finishing the 2018 season. I have the Dorna videopass, and I was wondering which past seasons y'all would recommend to go back and watch
