If it were any other rookie pay driver, Briatore would probably just try to squeeze them.
But with the HRT Team's Chinese capital holding an absolute majority, and considering Chen Xiangbei did offer a "timely help," he could only shrug helplessly and sigh, "In that case, I'll just have to take a hit."

"I've decided to sell the other driver seat of HRT to Italian driver Jarno Trulli, in exchange for Ferrari's second-hand wind tunnel."
The FIA, to reduce the gap between teams and make F1 races more exciting and suspenseful, had issued a ban in '08, allowing each team to use only one wind tunnel.
Being the only superpower in F1 history, the Ferrari Team at its peak used three wind tunnels to assist in development, building the Schumacher era's prancing horse dynasty.
