Lewis Hamilton has said that he will be wearing McLaren colours "proudly" for his final race with the team in Brazil on Sunday.
The 27-year-old will be racing for Mercedes next season, bringing an end to his 14-year association with McLaren, which included one world title back in 2008.
"I'm going to miss [the team], fighting with Jenson [Button], fighting with McLaren to help them win races," said Hamilton. "I'm just proud to have contributed.
"When you think about it being the last time - and it's on my mind a lot - then it's very surreal, very strange, very sad in many ways. We've a great history together. Of course we've won and we've lost the world championship together, been up to the highest highs and had the lowest lows together, but we have always pulled through.
"So with this being my last race, my last time in this team kit, I'm going to be wearing it very proudly this weekend, and I will be making sure I enjoy every moment because it's going to be tough - but it's not the end of an era, it's the end of a great chapter in my life."
Hamilton was fastest in both of today's practice sessions for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
