Well I guess this is the news of the day.

I have to say, I didn't think he would actually do it. I think he was far better off where he was.
Still, it will make for interesting watching next season, that's for sure.
This will spice things up as well..

Just saw the same thing on Sky during my break - and I think you're right, things will get interesting

Clearly $$$$ won the day. Having said that though, no one really knows what will happen when the engine regs change in a couple of seasons - Mercedes could end up competitive, or not. It strikes me as a massive gamble on Mercs part.
As for McLaren, they've got the best driver they could in Sergio Perez, I'll think he'll do a great job alongside the experience of Button. It'll be nice to see Button not being treated like the teams second driver, which he has seemed like for awhile.

Pretty much, i think.
Can't see Merc winning in 2013, but who knows what the new turbo is looking like for 2014?
It is going to be nice to have a relatively new driver in a top team like Maclaren for next year. I hope it doesnt hurt sauber too much though, financially.
Pressure on Rosberg to perform now as well, or be doomed to a number two driver position forever.

Looks like Sauber get to keep Telmex on board next year, despite Perez leaving.

I'm glad. I always had a soft spot for Sauber.
