Englishman Lewis Hamilton will drive for McLaren in Formula One next season.
The 21-year-old, the reigning champion of the GP2 feeder series, will be the first black driver to race in F1.
Hamilton, who has been in McLaren's young driver programme since 1998, said getting a drive with the team was "a dream come true".
He faces the daunting prospect of partnering world champion Fernando Alonso, who will be making his McLaren debut after moving from Renault.

About time we had front running Brit. As much as Button promised he delivered little.
Should be a textbook season next year with Ferrari and McLaren going toe to toe.
