So quite a lot, really. Last year Plato generated column inches and miles of forum posts/discussions simply by *not* being up front, and it's continuing this year before anyone knows what his intentions are.

He's had a few crap years and we're still talking about him. That's what Plato brings to any team that might want to take him in.
I get what you are saying, but how much of that brings something to the 'team', and how much of it is about the man himself?

In all of the column inches and forum chat, did BMR really gain anything?

He may have a great 'network', but again how much of that contributes to anything more than paying for his seat?

If it was a case of needing a driver to fund a seat to keep the TBL, then I can understand it. But the teams that will run a title contender already have enough behind them to stay on the grid.
