I am fully erect at this news. I wonder if Alonso made sure to stipulate full control of his own body hair this time around?

...wait, that's a good point. Maybe Big Ron has lightened up a bit in his advanced age, Jenson has been allowed to sport facial hair after all.

How much are McDennis paying Jense? Seeing how desperate he was to stay on, even if it meant doing the catering, I'm pretty sure Ron had the whip-hand during the negotiations.

bbc said it's at most half this £12m salary from 2014, but they also reported it was a one-year deal, and apparently that's not the case

I think you'll find that the best team Scuderia Ferrari have the best colour and also the best driver Sebastian Vettel. Unlike McLaren who are literaly run by the motorsport version of ulillillia and have two fraud champions for drivers.

It's a shame past performance is generally meaningless, because statistically speaking Button has won 100% of WDCs in years when he thought he might not even be in F1.

Alonso/Button is the best F1 thing I've seen in a while. Can't wait to see how it plays out. Hoping it won't be a Nando blowout, and closer to a 60/40, but secretly crossing my fingers for a Nico/Lewis head to head scenario with the new Super Honda Power rocketing McLaren to the front of the grid!

Also, he's never been able to win after qualifying below P2 while he's been in a McLaren.
