FI always need the money, and Mercedes let's say wrote off any existing bills (should there be any) and offer 2017 engines for free and a cash sum to buy Perez out -plus FI keeps Perez sponsor money for 2017- VJM will bite their arm off.
Of course VJ would bite their arm off because for Merc that would be an awful deal. With Ocon, FIF1 get a discounted rate for 2017 already. Engine deals are rumored to be £20M plus, Perez allegedly brings £10m. Is Sergio worth £30m? No, that's Hamilton money.
