Lewis Hamilton has slammed the critics who dubbed his move to Mercedes as the "wrong one".
The Brit has discussed the criticism he received about his highly publicised move to Mercedes, some even coming from former drivers. He also admitted he is relishing the fact that he is proving them all wrong.
Hamilton finished fifth at last weekends Australian Grand Prix after qualifying third on the grid. He had a consistent race and drove well to defend his position.
After doubt was raised over how he would perform in Melbourne, the 28-year-old said it was "nice to prove people wrong."
He then went on to add “It has been everyone, particularly all the ex-drivers, a lot of them commenting and saying that it was the worst decision ever, saying: ‘he’s going to finish nowhere, they are going to be nowhere’.
“And then they contradicted themselves, going the other way…they don’t know what they are talking about,”
He left the McLaren team in January after six seasons racing for them, winning the world championship in 2008. However now opinions on his controversial move has changes after Jenson Button finished a disappointing ninth in last weekends race, the McLaren looking both slow and difficult to set up.
The Formula 1 season how moves on to Malaysia where high temperatures and unpredictable weather are common. Mercedes struggled with tyre degradation in the high temperatures last year and will be hoping not to suffer similar issues.
