Hamilton claims he was Dumped by McLaren for visiting Mercedes

Hamilton's fourteen years old association with McLaren comes to an end for visiting his former team Mercedes.

Hamilton: McLaren days

'I went to see them in Australia but I also tried to see them in Jerez, at the test, and there (McLaren's sporting director) Sam Michael threw me out of the garage - That wasn’t very positive and I don’t feel very good about that,' said Hamilton, who was speaking to the official Formula One website.

The British driver now seals a three-year deal at Mercedes.

Hamilton's controversial switch appears to have worked in his favour with Mercedes having the upper hand over McLaren in the early stages of this season.

Let us take a break from Olympics after remaining awake the whole Saturday night and see what all is going on elsewhere.

In Budapest, Hungary, the Formula 1 cars are roaring on the tracks in the qualification round. And in that, Lewis Hamilton will be looking to build on his fantastic win in the German Grand Prix as the F1 circuit moves to Hungary on Sunday.

Vettel's teammate Mark Webber is the second favourite to qualify first. The Australian has finished third in four consecutive races.

Hamilton is currently 82 points adrift of Vettel in the Drivers Championship, with the season just over half way through. The Brit has won this race twice before and will be looking for maximum points here to mount a serious challenge.
