Not surprised at all. It will be interesting to see what McLaren can do with the current and former World Champs in their fold.

That's a shame.
If Button had stayed at Brawn/Mercedes, then Lewis would have had "Red 5" as his number next year!!
Lewis Hamilton in a decent car at Silverstone with "Red 5" would have been cool.

But it's not to be. He'll have number 2 on his car as Button's team mate.
Numbers 5 and 6 will go to Red Bull with Vettel and Weber.

No team leader

To be fair to Mclaren, they do tend to run equal cars early in the season up until one of their drivers starts to get a lead on the other, then they concentrate their efforts on him. Just happens that LH gets the best out of the car and as a result gets the development bits first. It won't be a walk in the park for JB or equally for LH, but it certainly will be interesting and exciting for the fans!!

You can't blame someone for wanting a good job with the best possible wages. I think he's made the right choice.

yeah totally agree, its not just the money though is it i mean he's been in a mid field team since forever i think to drive for Ferrari or McClaren is a ambition for all F1 drivers

A very famous colour and number Choccy , i too would have liked to see Lewis with Red 5 .... That would bring back some very good memories

My only concern with Lewis and Jenson at Mclaren will be Mclarens ability to produce a car with enough scope for setting it up to 2 very different driving styles . Lewis will want something that has a tendancy towards oversteer where as Jenson will want a more neutral handling package . If either has to adapt to the others style because of car set up limitations , i think Lewis will be better at adapting to Jensons set-up as opposed to the other way around
