Forgive my forgetfulness, but how much was Mercedes paying for their 75% stake in BrawnGP?

And considering that Ross paid 1 dollar/pound/euro whatever, did he (or he and Nick Fry) get all the cash or did something go to Honda? Who owns the rest of 25%? Ross?

I've heard they paid more than £50 Million, but nothing more precise than that.

I have been offered loans from companies that use the same APR as that.

I remember reading something about Honda having some sort of contract where they could buy the team back in a few years. I would now assume that that is out of the window

If that is true, surely that would include a clause that meant Honda would have to be given first refusal?

But 9 months, two championships, 100% hit rate and £49,999,999 profit... genius I would say!!!
