I didn't know about that, but haven't a good number of their own staff left for Aston Martin?

I think (ok, hope then ) that this will not happen. Schumacher tried the same in 1997 and got disqualified from the whole season's championship, so there is a precedent too.

I have a horrible feeling that this is going to happen - i.e. Max finishes 2nd with 18 points, Lewis 3rd with 15 points, thus winning the championship by virtue of an extra 3.5 points from Spa - dumbass rule, about on a par with them allowing cars to be serviced during a red flag stoppage. Did you hear what Lando said about that?
