Schumacher 'dithering' opened door for Hamilton move

Lewis Hamilton can thank Michael Schumacher’s indecisiveness for allowing Mercedes to pull off a signing coup and push the seven-times champion towards the brink of retirement for a second time.

Hamilton will replace 43-year-old Schumacher at Mercedes from next season after signing a three-year deal worth a reported €18m per season, ending his 14-year association with McLaren.
