It’s now official. After much speculation, we can now state with certainty that Lewis Hamilton will be joining the Mercedes F1 team, as of 2013. He will take Michael Schumacher’s place, and the German may possibly be offered a management position within the team.
Hamilton will be driving alongside Nico Rosberg, whose contract has been extended, and taking his place at McLaren will be Mexican driver, Sergio Perez. When asked about the move, the Brit said: "It is now time for me to take on a fresh challenge and I am very excited to begin a new chapter racing for the Mercedes Formula 1 team [. . .] Mercedes-Benz has such an incredible heritage in motorsport, along with a passion for winning which I share [. . . ] Together, we can grow and rise to this new challenge. I believe that I can help steer the Silver Arrows to the top and achieve our joint ambitions of winning the world championships."
This move will most definitely spell the end of Michael Schumacher’s racing career, a career in which he managed to break records like no other. In 2004, he managed to win no fewer than seven consecutive races, while over the course of the 2001, 2002 and 2003 seasons, he managed 24 points finishes in a row. The German has also accumulated a total of 1,560 points, winning 91 races and achieving 155 podiums. However, his biggest achievement by far is his winning the F1 championship an unprecedented 7 times.
