    Wasn't it Kovalainen? Or did I miss something from last year?

    Yeah, true.

    For that bonus I'd win the race on foot.

    Last year, Brasil, last race of the season. Not only did he go off, but he pushed the button too. And this year, Kovi did it again.

    As I understand it Switzerland has VERY strict speed limits and that McLaren needs a lot of room to run.

    No they don't. The government has banned racing, but the locals are quite taken by cars and racing.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    I can kind of see his point, though. It sounds awesome, but how much could you enjoy the roads since it's the government with the power to ticket you? Then again, with that much money I think I could manage to pay one or two...

    Switzerland is a wonderful place but its a terribly expenasive place to live, but from what i hear its good value for your taxes things actually get done!

    But back on subject wow....just wow I would of already thought winning 2 championships would be reward enough but obviously there are many ways to sweeten any deal.
    Lifts heavy things and hits hard......also eats as much as 2/3 people and sleeps 10 hours a day!

    Yes, I'm sure taking a turn at 55kph on a quite mountain road perfectly suited to an MX-5 or Z4 is exactly where you want to drive a 600hp mega car.

    Also, isn't a ticket amount based on a percentage of the cost of the car? Or is that Sweden?

    I think it was in Finland (or some other nordic country) that the fine was based on the income of the offender.

    But anyway, if you really use the McLaren's performance capabilities you'd most probably lose your license. Instantly.
