Lotus F1 confirmed as using Merc power from 2015

[j2 lot]

As per title, Mercedes AMG Petronas just issued a press release welcoming Lotus to the Mercedes family with a long term contract covering the duration of the current power train regulations - interesting

Good stuff. Now all they need to do is sort out the chassis and their drivers.

Hmmm, could we see Alonso returning if McLaren don't want him (which I doubt it if the money was right)

Given I think they still owe Kimi £ - severely doubt it

Rumours suggested Alonso's new contract was likely to be around £32m pa.

I'll do it for £30m.

I'll do it for £30m.

You're a foot too tall.

Height reduction surgery - £5m
Requisite number of Walshy days - £24m

That leaves £1m for coke and hookers.

Don't be so harsh / modest about your driving skills,... I have fixed you calculations for you..

Height reduction surgery - £5m
Requisite number of Walshy days - £23.95m

That leaves £1.05m for coke and hookers.

Awww, shucks. I'm flattered.
