What I find really interesting is that Alonso's new teammate could be announced this weekend at Monaco.

To quote my favorite philosopher, "What a maroon!" For just half as much money (invested through discrete channels), I am quite certain I could convince the parliament of Spain to forgive my tax debt, christen me Juan Carlos II and make me next in line for the throne. And I'd still have $40 mil to spend on paella, sangria and señoritas!

80 million????

I'm pretty certain his move is also related to the fact that foreigners living in Switzerland have had their tax benefits greatly reduced. Expect more to follow.

[Jabberwocky]

with that sort of money I would make myself an island and create my own country.... then tax myself.

I will call it Jabbertonia, where fuel is cheap. I will have enforced minimal speed limits on all main roads.

DAIM that's a lot of chorizo, it would have been much cheaper to lure Newey back and then get Sutil and Barrichello to win them their WDC/WCC double.

If I ever meet alonso I'm gonna ask him if I can borrow $500,000 to pay off my college loans and to buy a house!! That's just chump change for him!

[horsepower]

that's just an obscene amount of money. mind you, not as bad as some footballers get paid for the very little they do in comparison.
