beyond the engines, there is a rumor that Honda will cover 25 millions a year for 2 + 1 year of Alonso's contract
Ron Denis in the beginning did not want to hear a word about the Spanish after the 2007 trigger and tried with nails and teeth to persuade Hamilton to return
Honda was demanding one of the 3 great drivers (Hamilton Alonso Bethel) and as he puts his hand in his pocket Ron Dennis was forced to accept the Spaniard
rumors also indicate that the two companies will co-operate and over-share Honda's active stake in McLaren's supercar
