€17m? Maybe he is motivated, but he can't get it to work. So Audi must really think that he will - and without him, they won't. That's really surprising. From my sofa, I wouldn't bet €17m on Rossi fixing it. I bet you could get Cal and save about €16m - and end up with comparable or better results. But I admit I am sitting on a sofa, not in a pit garage.
