    Pay Kimi

    Lotus - Pay your driver per the contract you made with him.

    Lotus sucks - as an employer.

    They should take out a loan to pay Kimi off and then learn a valuable lesson. Limit contracts to £3 million a year for all drivers employed in the future. I think Williams paid their drivers very little or have done in certain cases, apart from Mansell who had a special contract in '94. If the car is good enough to win, a driver will want to drive it. Free up the scope for individual sponsorship and cut the wage bill. I don't know how much Kimi was on, but his manager Robertson is notorious for negotiating high earning contracts. Lotus could do themselves a big favour in future.

    Let's start a charity fund to collect some money for Kimi so that he could at least afford to pay his rent, heating bills, and drink vodka until his fat Lotus check arrives.

    Or he could sell his alcohol stock at home and pay his own rent

    Did Heikki Kovalainen make 'em pay him upfront?

    Or is he driving for free?
