They can't be that badly off if they can still afford to sign Daniel Ricciardo, its reputedly a £30 million deal.

I managed to buy a 928 S4 from the UK several years ago for next to nothing. When it landed in Australia i dug through the paperwork... Don't think anyone else had bothered to... And i noticed a pile of receipts over many years addressed to McLaren cars at woking... found that it had been the property of a D Bearham... Who upon checking was head of suspension technical developments. Is it too strange a conspiracy theory to think perhaps McLaren had it at the woking track either to learn the innards of the porsche... Especially suspension, or were using it for the sake of comparison? From memory these receipts spanned 93 to 97....

Nope that is no conspiracy theory.
I read about that exact same 928s4 on ZH years ago, its all true.....
except the name was D Beckham, clearly a spelling mistake.
