Worst kept secret. Hahaha
I think it was a move that needed to be done especially for Mercedes. They needed someone to take the one-spot from HAM when he decides to retire and given the age of BOT, it wasn't going to be him. Also with the new changes next season, it's a huge to be able to make this transition with someone like HAM who has the experience who can still carry the team while allowing RUS to learn and eventually take over.
At Mercedes the goal is always drivers and constructor titles, but sometimes it doesn't go that way and you have to sort of reload in a way and now is that time but it will possibly payoff in the future if this all goes right.
