A decade has now passed since one of the most important moments in recent F1 history: when Lewis Hamilton took the massive step of flying the McLaren nest to bet his future on Mercedes.
Of course, with years of success, six world championships and countless victories, it’s easy to look back and assume the move was a no brainer.
But it was certainly a risk for Hamilton to leave McLaren for a team it had been comfortably beating for three years, and it wasn’t even a no-brainer for Mercedes, where at times there was such reluctance towards getting this deal over the line that it could have wasted the opportunity altogether.
