bad news for kubica i'd say
The main takeaway from this news is that McLaren lose Hondas money, have to pay Renault for their engines AND still have to pay Alonso next yr.
Basically owners will bridge the gap next year and if they can't perform and get more sponsors they're up **** creek.
Also Palmer got multi mil payout for hopping out mid-season. Be interesting to see how Sainz goes there against Hulk - I'm hoping for very well...
Also, didn't know this thread existed. Long time F1 fan here...
