Interesting that Lewis Hamilton is supposed to be receiving 12M a year , whilst JB is on half that.

Read somewhere that Brawn refused to meet JB's wage demand - lucky that there was an opening at McLaren

When Hamilton won in '08 I read somewhere that his earnings over 3 or 5 years were estimated to be £70-80 million not including endorsements. Nice if you can get it I s'pose.

Hasn't Michael Schumacher accumulated around 800 million Euros in earnings?

I wonder how they'd have got on with the Honda engine? The car might have been a right dog if the team had remained as Honda.

When you think of how many world championships Honda have won I find it hard to believe they couldn't come up with a more competative engine.

The head of Engine development at Ferrari was ex Honda.

Are we going to be seeing many shots of Jenson's father in the garage during the races?
I wouldnt feel sorry for Raikkonen when he got paid $70 million for this years work at Ferrari and could barely be arsed to give a interview.
I reckon we will be seeing Proton/Lotus heading the field like the Skoda's in WTC.

Shame. Everyone who works for McLaren seems to turn into a humourless corporate drone. Let's hope Button doesn't go the same way.

I would have said Button has always filled that criteria.

What had he managed before this season ? 1 win & 4 3rd places in the last 4 years.
