SUZUKA: Lewis Hamilton yesterday revealed how he was mentally torn by his decision to switch Formula One teams before finally making up his mind while lying on a beach in Thailand.

The 27-year-old former world champion said his mind swung back and forth “like a pendulum” until he eventually settled on leaving McLaren, the team he had driven for since a teenager, for Mercedes.
