OT: F1 how much does an apology cost these days?

Recently Jaguar(pronounced by the Brits as Jag YOU Are) {not the proper Jag whar like us Yanks) :) :> <VBG> ;) Well anyway, the Jag team thought it signed a contract with Mclaren's Chief Designer Adrian Newey. It was to take effect next August 2002 when his current contract expired. As soon as Ron Dennis of Mclaren heard this, he immeadiately extended Newey's contract....this brought about a very nasty legal fight that abruptly ended today When Mclaren and Newey both appologized to Jaguar. See DailyF1.com for details...or other F1 sites...but my question, as posed in the topic is...just how much did that apology cost Mclaren?? dave henrie

Not cheap I'm sure. But maybe a deal has been struck for something other than money? Intellectual property, or staffing/services? On Wed, 13 Jun 2001 13:38:55 GMT, "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote:

June 4 1738? Is that the day a load of British settlers won their freedom from another load of Brits? Also, the cat was probably named by a european explorer.
