This seems like a bit of a stretch? Latvala will get paid by VW next year regardless - so what is this buy-out paycheck are you referencing? And how is it negotiable?

If anything it might be Latvala that has to buy his way out of his own contract. Although I doubt VW will demand their drivers sit on the couch for a year.
