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.

Height reduction surgery - £5m
Requisite number of Walshy days - £24m
That leaves £1m for coke and hookers.
