How much is second or third place worth in championship prize money?

McLaren would certainly have beaten Williams with a Mercedes engine, even without all the cheat modes.

Zak claimed this wasn't accurate but didn't clarify how much it actually is. He did say that there would be a point at which their money wasn't worth how much they'd lose from continued poor performance. Some of that is prize money, but I have to imagine there was pressure from their current sponsors.

Ron won't be able to leave the house today, because he is locked in a full cringe that won't release his face for 8 - 10 hours due to the odd shape of that bag, the attachment point of the handle, and the way the side pocket juts out.

Maybe we got Bernie wrong, maybe he's just so old and demented that he believes photographs and videos have the power to capture and steal souls, and that his role was to tightly control and guard F1s from the devil. It would explain the fact that he never, not once, released an official F1 VHS or DVD. (The season reviews are released by the FIA)

I think people tend to forget all the good Bernard did for the sport in the past because of his mishandling of it during the last bit of his tenure. Kind of like how people forget Ron Dennis was at one point a successful team owner and not retarded.

It's banned.

Just that the old engine got grandfathered in. :unsmigghh:

(I read it that if either engine blows up, they have to use an engine that abides by the new oil burn regs when they replace it)
