McLaren : Price For A Testing

teamcar - Fernando Alonso's eleventh-hour release to test for McLaren last Friday came with a hefty price tag, according to reports.

Germany's Bild-Zeitung claims that although Flavio Briatore said he and the Spaniard still enjoy 'a very good relationship', the Italian probably still demanded that McLaren pay for the privilege - according to speculation - of using a Renault employee for the Jerez test. The sum of (US) $2.6m was mentioned.
