I think part of the deal was a waiver on the requirement for Paddy Lowe to take a year's gardening leave... he can now start straight away.
Wherlein is also confirmed at Sauber... not sure if that was part of the negations or not?
Interesting to note that Mercedes acknowledge that they tried to get Ricciardo or Max, but the contracts were bulletproof.
At any rate, I suspect Bottas is a happy camper at the moment. It will be interesting to see how the relationship with the Hamster develops. Lewis no doubt is still sporting a chapped derrière and will have a point to prove this season.
