So no, No one is upset with him leaving Ford, because he didnt leave them

I'm nitpicking I know, but his 2013 contract was part of his original signing with SBR/Ford.
Erebus announced their intention to purchase SBR in Sept 2012.
Later in 2012 SVG announces his "retirement"
Erebus purchase not completed and official until 8.1.2013.
per Speedcafe article
Would be more correct to have said he SVG left SBR/Ford because of the Erebus/AMG future, notwithstanding his publicised reason for "retiring".
