Hamilton is used to the spotlight but it will be on the British driver more than ever after his switch from McLaren to Mercedes -- a risky move that will give him more freedom but at the expense of a more reliable car. Hamilton showed glimpses of his brilliance last season, clinching seven pole positions and winning four races, but he also retired five times and finished a disappointing fourth overall behind Raikkonen. At the age of 28, Hamilton is approaching his peak years and the question remains whether he will be able to clinch a second F1 title in a Mercedes. Still, at least he will be the team's No. 1, rather than sharing that status with Button. Team: Mercedes. Race Wins: 21. Pole Positions: 26. (AFP Photo)
