Formula One: ‘Hamilton joining at a good time’

Hamilton will benefit from structures that have been set up at Mercedes over the last few years.

Former multiple world champion Michael Schumacher has said that Lewis Hamilton has joined Mercedes at a good time, according to Sky Sports. Hamilton, who is Schumacher’s replacement, after his retirement last year, will benefit from the structures that have been set up at Mercedes over the last few years according to the German. “In the first two years we definitely did not have the capability to fight on several fronts,” said Schumacher. “If there were problems we had to take care of them, so the development process was interrupted. Only now is there a structure that enables both. It’s a strong structure for 2013 and beyond.”
