    wow!!! that's a huge shock. i wonder who at mercedes even had a clue...

    with his new family, all the money he'll ever need, and having secured a life-long dream, it would seem that that's enough for nico. i can greatly respect that.

    he probably also just can't stand another year as the diva's teammate!! ;-)

    WTF?!

    Between being teammate with Elton and the fact that RB will be much stronger next year weighed heavily on his mind. Wow I'm sure wehrlein will get the drive now..

    Wow - didn't see that one coming at all !

    Wonder who'll partner Hamilton - would love to see Alonso there.

    Best,

    He's a p***y but also quite smart. He knows it will take a miracle to defend that titel or to even win another one, so why not quit now.

    He will for sure not be missed. Bye Bye Mr. "Perfect"

    He's had a pretty amazing career for a F1 driver. Very few have attained what he's done, such longevity with a team, and ending up with a WDC.

    WOW! Good for him to leave on a high, he probably knows this was his best and maybe only shot at the title.

    It would be a disservice to every talented driver on the grid if Wehrlein gets that seat. Please let it be Alonso. :D

    Ocon signed by Force India though...

    IMO Wehrlein I simply wouldn't want. Zero marketability, he comes across as weird, and was matched by Ocon who had no experience...

    I'd do my best to get alonso. Ham Vs ALO pt2. I bet Bernie is on the phone now trying to sort this, TV ratings will go up again.

    Just read it on Blick.

    Holy cow!

    So he remains a one-timer like his dad. q.e.d.

    And the race is on to fill the 2nd seat.

    My prediction: Hamilton gets his 4th title next year.
