10 years ago today, Lewis Hamilton was announced as a new Mercedes driver. HenryValantine takes a look at some of the greatest career moves in F1 history.
Lewis Hamilton shocked the Formula 1 world 10 years ago today when he announced his move to what was then a midfield Mercedes team, but he has since gone on to emphatically prove the many doubters wrong.
There was widespread shock and confusion at the time as to why Hamilton would make such a move, with McLaren being up at the front with Red Bull and Ferrari, with Mercedes looking to be ‘best of the rest’ behind at that point – leading many people to question why he would make this backward step. “I think in the end, the decision was his without me saying, but in the end, maybe he thought like this.”
But the building process began quickly, with the German taking a dominant victory in the wet in Barcelona in his first season, as well as taking his Ferrari to the top step at Monza in 1996, and he and the team gradually put themselves further up the timesheets and into title contention as time passed.eventually became the sport’s dominant force after losing out to McLaren and Mika Hakkinen in 1998 and ’99.
What could have been a death knell in the career of some other drivers ended up being a blessing in disguise for Prost, despite quickly agreeing a deal to head back to a McLaren team which had finished a lowly fifth in the 1983 Constructors’ Championship.
