still feels kinda surreal, lewis is actually leaving macca... didn't think he would, and not like this. that relationship had obviously broken down somewhere along the lines.
Problem with stepping into a championship winning car immediately is that it leaves you no where to move but sideways, which in F1 is always a risk. Mercedes have snapped up a fair few experience engineers and knowing Brawn he will have a ~2 year plan to see the car consistently competitive. Having said that, I don't know how well Hamilton is when it comes to setting the car up, Senna was poor at diagnosing the chassis compared to say Prost but that didn't stop him driving the pants off the car and being accurate to the nearest ~40mm... freak of nature.
Brawn knows Mercedes isnt going to be competitive next year for the title, he's said him self that he's looking towards 2014 and said he has already made a few thing for the 2014 car.
i think hamilton will win a race or 2 next year but not the championship.

japan gp was special. so good to see massa back on the podium after always been looked down upon.
but when kobayashi got his first podium at his home gp and the way he presented himself on the podium, such a great guy. special moment. having a swish of the champagne during vettels interview. the crowd chanting ka-mu-i ka-mu-i. translating stuff into japanese so the crowd would understand. sugoi ne~
Yeah that was awesome! I've been a fan of his since he started, just seeing him in some of his early races pulling some really aggressive moves. He wasn't timid like you'd expect of a newcomer. He puts himself on the line each race! It's never boring to watch him race. Good on him And yeah Massa has just never been the same since his terrible accident. Great to see him on the podium again. Only negative was that damn Vettel winning
