    was it 110 plus the 98?

    or was 98 the end result of the 110?

    wonder if Honda is kicking themselves?

    I mean, it was a Mercedes engine and all but still how do you sell a team for 1 pound sterling and that team goes on to win WDC and the constructor's championship their first year and make 98.5 million pounds and not feel like you screwed up?

    Big balls from Brawn and Fry and co putting up their own money to keep the thing afloat.

    "The directors were paid €8.4 million in salaries over the course of the year and were paid back the €3.5 million they loaned the company to stay afloat in the build up to the season. "

    We know better than to take financial figures in F1 at face value but it couldn't happen to a more deserving crew. The guys who staked their own money had their faith repaid.

    While having "done more than OK" over the years, I don't think either of 'em were "wealthy". I guess they are now!......

    Not exactly a Sir-Frank-in-the-phone-booth scenario, but good luck to 'em!

    Cheers,
    Ian

    98.5 million profit ! That's almost enough to "acquire" a 780-page dossier of Ferrari data :)
