When Mercedes lured Lewis Hamilton away from McLaren at the end of the 2012 season, they knew they were getting an incredibly fast racer who had already won a world title.

Although Hamilton had to find to find his feet during his first season at Mercedes, the combination has then been pretty much irresistible.
