Laymen

After the $100 million dollar fine was handed to McLaren I made a post on my Live Journal with a copy of the news piece and a blurb about how I can't even conceptualize $100 million dollars. My buddy Milhouse asked me to explain what happened in Layman's Terms so I did, finally concluding with:

The best (or worst) part is that apparently Ron Dennis, the head cheese at McLaren, alerted the FIA to the new evidence that ultimatley got his team the $100 million dollar fine.

As it goes, he and Fernando Alonso were having a very heated discussion and Alonso purportedly said he and McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa had exchanged information that came from the 780 pages of Ferrari notes that that Coughlin guy had.

Anyhow, The Fern was like "I'ma go tell the FIA on you if you don't all suckle on my Spanish fly and let me be the number one driver in the team" and Ron Dennis was like "Eat a dick, spic!" and called the FIA. Ron Dennis says The Fern was trying to blackmail him, which may or may not be true. However, it all sure backfired and done blowed up in Ron's face when all was said and done considering the team got that fine and were stripped of their constructors points, yet the driver he hates got immunity for bringing this information to light, even if it was originally shed in an attempt of personal gain.

That's kind of a kick to the groin.
