Ferrari Mailing List: Re: A Just Sentence?

(continued)

Hans,

I doubt that the fine would hurt a billionaire that much ... seems like 
a lot to you and I, but a billion is 1,000 million.  100 out of 1,000 
isn't that much.  It's all perspective!

$100 very large is a serious chunk.  I'm assuming that is Euros,
making it that much worse in the eyes of us Yanks.  This is a
check that even Bill Gates would cringe while writing.
Suppose McL refuses?  I doubt that there is much legal punch
behind the decision, as it would sort of be like your country club
fining you $100 for peeing into a tree in a public place (don't
ask......).  The only enforcement is total exclusion until the amount
is paid (again, don't ask......).  So....
Far fetched thought:  Maybe McL refuses to pay.  Which means
leaving F1.  What would they do?  As I recall, their roots were in
sports cars.  Remember the McLaren CanAm cars?  M8F, if
my soggy brain cells remember, was a designation for a real
ground pounder using an all aluminum 530cid Chevy.  Fast forward
and look to the ALMS and the sister Euro series.  Yes, I know that
it is a drop in the bucket compared to F1, but it still is interesting
racing, involving Audi, Pugeot (sp), and even Porsche.

Where does the $100.000.000.00 go? Is that a roll of Euros in
Bernie's pocket or has he been out with Bo Derek again? What is the
going rate to buy a supermodel for a Weekend at Bernie's these days
anyhow? Or did Bernie spend all his lucre on visits to the Hair Club
for Tiny Old Men?
