Why Did Lewis Hamilton Switch To Ferrari, And How Much Does He Have Left In The Tank?

It was one of the most talked-about stories in Formula One last year as Lewis Hamilton announced he would be switching to Ferrari from Mercedes .

In fact, many regard the move as one of the biggest over the last decade.

Hamilton, though, is no stranger to massive change as he made a highly-publicised team change in the early part of his career.

In 2012, Hamilton stunned supporters and petrolheads the world over when he moved from McLaren - after winning his first world title - to Mercedes.

It seemed ludicrous at the time as the 27-year-old prodigy would change a winning formula, but hindsight is 20/20 and it would indeed prove a genius move.
