Hamilton to Mercedes...discuss

Not true. Senna went to Williams as he felt their cars had an advantage with all of the electronics, suspension etc.

Technical regulations for the 1994 Formula One season were announced at the 1993 Canadian Grand Prix.

One of the major announcements was that electronic aids were to be banned from Formula One, which included power brakes and the traction control system.

Also banned for the 1994 season was the use of ABS and active suspension. This was done as there were fears that electronic aid systems were levelling the field up, putting more emphasis on the car rather than the driver talent.

Some spoke out against traction control, including Ayrton Senna, who said he preferred to have more control of the car instead of having the computers drive it for him.

Senna had agreed to go to Williams prior to that

Im not disputing that Rob. Maybe the $1 million a race swayed him lol but he was never in favour of driver aids and wanted rid of the lot.

Same car, different driver then let the best man win.

Key trick with F1 will be engines. From 2014 Mclaren will have customer engines, ie the previous years model, so how quick will they be then? Mercedes will have the real deal. Probably not a bad move, and loads and loads of cash too.

That isn't how it works Murph. Customer engines are the same as the works team. Plus 2014 is the first year of the v6 turbo engines, so there are no 'last years' engines.

I think you will see Mercedes shine in 2014 with a new car. This move is not for next year and I will be collecting from William Hill in November 2014. He is getting the move in early. Wait and Watch this space. This is a well planned move.

Not true. Senna went to Williams as he felt their cars had an advantage with all of the electronics, suspension etc. He was pissed right off when they were all outlawed after he had signed for them.
Not denying he was a great driver, probably the best that ever lived.
But he wouldn't have turned down all of the electronic aids going to win the championship.
Hamilton going to Mercedes is a great move. We'll see how those cars can perform now. He is a great driver, a proper "racer".
And it's going to be interesting watching Perez perform at McLaren. If that guy doesn't win a world championship in a few years time, I'll eat my hat.
2013 is going to be a great F1 season.

far far from it
