Only a handful of Formula 1 world champions have been as closely identified with a single team as Lewis Hamilton was with McLaren, yet this year the Briton announced that he was bidding farewell to the squad that had nurtured him since childhood to take on a new challenge at so-far-unsucessful Mercedes.
Suddenly what had been a frozen driver market was unlocked. McLaren instantly picked Sergio Perez as Hamilton's successor - then saw the Mexican's season nosedive. Hamilton's arrival at Mercedes backed Michael Schumacher into a corner where retirement was the only palatable option. And somehow, amid it all, Felipe Massa kept a Ferrari seat he had seemed certain to lose...

Fernando Alonso believes Ferrari was right to question Sebastian Vettel's pass on Jean-Eric Vergne in the Brazilian Grand Prix, despite the controversy it caused.
Several days after Vettel beat Alonso to the 2012 Formula 1 title at Interlagos, Ferrari wrote to the FIA seeking clarification following the emergence of video footage intimating that Vettel passed Vergne under yellow flags.
The FIA declared that the pass took place after a green flag so was legal - an explanation Ferrari accepted.
Although Alonso stayed out of the row, when questioned at the Ferrari World Finals event at Valencia on Sunday he backed his team's decision.
"There were a lot of video clips on the Internet and we knew our fans were asking for an explanation and so it was right for Ferrari to turn to the Federation for a clarification," Alonso said.
"We got a reply and I think everything has now calmed down.
"I did not pay much attention to all the uproar this incident caused, but I felt we owed our fans an answer."
He shrugged off any criticism of himself or Ferrari that the controversy generated.
"Frankly, I'm not that interested in what the opinion is of me in Germany or elsewhere," Alonso said.
"What I know is that people who see me in the streets hug me and call me gladiator or samurai."

Felipe Massa has admitted that the long-running uncertainty over his Ferrari future played a part in his poor early-2012 form.
Although the Brazilian had previously insisted that he had been able to shut out the pressure caused by Ferrari's doubts over his performances, he now accepts it affected his focus.
"In the first half of the year, I was worried about renewing my contract," Massa said at Ferrari's World Finals event at Valencia on Sunday.
"I did not think that Ferrari would really wait right to the end of the summer before deciding on the driver line-up for next year.
"It's true that ever since I've been at Maranello, there have always been rumours about me. Already in my first year there was a list of drivers who were supposed to take my place and it was the same this year, with a lot of names and plenty of speculation.
"At the start, I paid too much attention to these things, but then, in August, I told myself I should only think about racing and having fun and so I began to really drive, to have the right feeling with the car and to drive as quickly as I know how."
Ferrari eventually decided to renew Massa's contract in October.
He enjoyed a stronger end to the year, scoring two podium finishes and outqualifying title-chasing team-mate Fernando Alonso at the last two grands prix.
"Now I feel very strong and the results were there to see in the last nine races, so I am optimistic for the future - mine and Ferrari's," Massa added.

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has hit out at Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, suggesting the Briton may be too old to be running the sport.
Ecclestone, 82, was critical of the controversy generated after Ferrari decided to write to the FIA asking for clarification on Sebastian Vettel's pass on Jean-Eric Vergne during the season finale in Brazil.
Ecclestone said last week that Ferrari was too late to consider a protest, and labelled the situation a "complete joke".
Di Montezemolo, speaking during the Ferrari World Finals, was critical of Ecclestone, saying "old age" is often "incompatible with certain roles and responsibilities."
Di Montezemolo's comments on Ecclestone came after the Italian criticised the current lack of testing for younger drivers.
"We are constructors, not sponsors: I'm no longer happy that we can't do testing on tarmac and that you can't give any chance for young drivers to emerge," he said.
"Since some people have used the expression 'It's a joke' in recent days, I would like to say that this is the real 'joke'.
"Yes, I'm referring to one of Ecclestone's phrases: my father always taught me that you have to have respect your elders, above all when they reach the point that they can no longer control their words. So I will stop there.
"Certainly, old age is often incompatible with certain roles and responsibilities."
Di Montezemolo insisted Ferrari had accepted the FIA's clarification on Vettel's move and that it had now moved on.
"Congratulations go to Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull because they won and we are happy to congratulate winners, hoping and wishing that next year we are on the receiving end of these compliments," he said.
"As for the yellow flag saga, we took the simplest and most linear route, by asking the Federation to look into it, making it clear that we would accept their decision and that's what we did."

Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali has denied his team's intention was to diminish Sebastian Vettel's championship victory when asking for clarification on the German's pass in the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Ferrari wrote a letter to the FIA asking for clarification on the move after footage from the race appeared to indicate he may have overtaken Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Verne under yellow flag conditions.
The team received the clarification from the FIA and said on Friday that it considered the matter closed.
Domenicali said on Friday it was his team's duty to ask for clarification, but made it clear it was not Ferrari's intention to cast a shadow over Vettel's third title.
"I believe it was the duty of our team to make sure that the championship finishes in the best way possible, for the interest of the championship and for the interest of the team and our drivers," said Domenicali during a press conference in Madrid.
"It was our duty to ask for a clarification to the FIA to understand what was the thing that was circulating on the web, without trying to diminish the victory of the driver who has won the title.
"But with the approach of seeking clarity and trying to understand what was the video that was on television. It was nothing more than that.
"So it was a very rational and very correct approach from Ferrari to make sure that we understood. We have received the clarification from the FIA, so we have taken notice of their position.
The Italian insisted the team has now moved on and is already focusing on giving Fernando Alonso a car to win the title next season.
"As I said, there's nothing to say apart from the fact that we look ahead," he said. "We need to look ahead and these things will give us more spirit to look for the start of next season.
"I believe Fernando deserved this title and we need to make sure that Fernando will be able to win the title next year."
Domenicali also said his team will always do whatever is necessary to ensure everyone abides by the rules.
"I think that there were a lot of polemics, not only this year but also in the past," he added.
"This is part of F1, and not only F1. If we don't as sportsmen follow the principle that the FIA has the duty to make sure that everyone is compliant with the regulations and we don't believe in it, it is better to do another job.
"Of course when we speak about regulations we speak about something that is always on the limit, the limit is very thin and sometimes difficult.
"What I can guarantee looking ahead we will make sure that if we see something we will use our formalities to make sure that our rights are totally protected."

The HRT Formula 1 team looks set to officially close down after failing to find a buyer before the FIA's payment deadline for 2013 entries on Friday.
The squad was absent from the 22-car entry list published by the governing body on Saturday.
HRT had been put up for sale by owner Thesan Capital just before the United States Grand Prix.
Attempts were made to find a buyer before the entry deadline. AUTOSPORT understands that Chinese company Chery Automobile among those involved in talks to save HRT.
Sources indicate that the team is now working to pay its creditors and that the plan is for the team to shut down without unpaid debts.
Team representatives declined to comment on the current situation.
HRT was originally launched as Campos Meta by former F1 driver Adrian Campos when the FIA invited new entries for the 2010 season.
But its first reconstitution happened before it even made the grid, as former Jordan/Midland boss Colin Kolles was parachuted in to lead a last-minute rescue when the project hit funding problems.
Kolles saw the renamed Hispania team through to the middle of the 2011 season, when it was bought by Thesan.
It was relocated to a Madrid base in an attempt to revive the Spanish team image that Campos had originally planned, with Luis Perez-Sala installed as team boss.
Designing its own car for the first time after adapting a Dallara-produced chassis in its early years, HRT hinted at progress in 2012 as it briefly closed on Marussia.
But it drifted away at the tail of the field by the end of the year, with its funding problems clearly apparent as tales of parts shortages dominated what turned out to be its final races.
HRT had beaten Marussia to 11th spot in the constructors' championship in its first two years, before falling to last in 2012.
It is the first F1 team to close down since Super Aguri's mid-2008 exit.
| Saturday, December 1st 2012, 18:48 GMT |
The FIA has announced the full 2013 Formula 1 World Championship entry list, reduced to 22 cars following the demise of HRT.
Although several driver names are still 'tba' on the list - believed to be because teams have yet to allocate numbers to each driver - the only remaining vacancies are at Lotus, which is yet to confirm that Romain Grosjean will stay, Force India, Caterham and Marussia.
Paul di Resta is expected to keep one Force India drive, while Marussia will retain Timo Glock and is expected to add Max Chilton.
Sauber has signed Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez. Caterham has one vacancy but has confirmed Charles Pic. Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne stay on at Toro Rosso.
Of the drivers moving teams, McLaren signing Sergio Perez takes #6 behind Jenson Button, and Lewis Hamilton gets #10 at Mercedes.

Former grand prix driver JJ Lehto has been freed of all charges for his part in the boat accident that killed a friend in 2010.
Last year, Lehto had been sentenced to two years and four months in prison after a court found he was drunk and speeding on his boat before crashing into a bridge support pillar in Finland in July of 2010.
Lehto, 46, had appealed the sentence, claiming he was not steering the boat, but instead sitting in the back when the accident occurred.
The Finn, who raced in Formula 1 from 1989 and 1994, has now been cleared of all charges.

Ferrari is bracing itself for what it believes will be the 'toughest year' in Formula 1 history next season, as teams get ready for new regulations in 2014.
With the outfit determined to make amends for the weaknesses that cost it this year's world championship, Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali says he is under no illusions about the size of the task his outfit is facing if it wants to triumph.
He reckons that the challenge posed by new car and engine rules for 2014 is already immense, and that having to also keep pushing with its 2013 challenger will be tough.
"Next year will maybe be the most difficult year - we are in parallel two projects," said Domenicali during a press conference in Madrid on Friday.
"We need to make sure the 2013 car and team is successful and, on other hand, we have a group of people that need to make sure that with massive change, the car of 2014 will be successful.
"It is an extremely challenging year with a lot of investment, and a lot of opportunities, and I don't deny it will be a very critical year in order to achieve in all the directions the objectives that we want to achieve."
Domenicali has faith that Ferrari has learned valuable lessons this year, where Alonso lost the title by just three points to Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
"We know where we need to improve and I believe we have all the tools to make sure we will improve," he said. "Our season has not finished.
"On the Monday after the end of the championship I was back in Maranello to make sure the work around the next project will give a boost. We need to make sure the car is faster than it was at the beginning of this season. On that I have the confidence it will be."
Domenicali also thinks that Ferrari's main focus must be on lifting the performance of its car, because he reckons in other critical areas that team is good enough for championship success.
"We need to be pragmatic and consider that if you want to win you need to have the best car, the best driver, we have that is clear, the best strategy, the best pitstop, the best reliability and the best luck.
"On those six [items], I would say apart from two we had all four. The best car above all at the end of season and the beginning? No. So it is a fact to improve.
"And in terms of luck, I don't like to give the answer because it is quite easy to reply. Next year we need all six elements in our pocket and then I am sure we can succeed in the objective we want to achieve together."
He added: "You never give up. From the emotional point of view, when you receive a hit in the stomach it hurts, but we are good boxers. We stand up and fight again.
"I am convinced on one fact: that this year we had a difficult start for Felipe [Massa], a difficult start to the season, and I saw Felipe grow in a great way in the second half of the season.
"This will be an important element to count on as a team to be more competitive from the beginning of the season."
