Mercedes move for Hamilton

Sep 28 2012

Lewis Hamilton will end his 14-year association with McLaren at the end of the season and join Mercedes.

Press Association Sport understands Hamilton is to sign a three-year deal with the German manufacturing giant, worth a reported £15million a year.

Although McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh admitted just three weeks ago there was "no plan B" should Hamilton quit, it is understood Sauber's Sergio Perez will replace the 27-year-old at the Woking-based marque.
