Big yikes but only makes any sense if their going for Audi power either later this season or next. The bung to Wheatley must have been eye watering

    (if this is a done deal, and I'm not sure it is) It would seem unadvisable for Audi to let Wheatley immediately go to a competitor who they've got a good chance of finishing ahead of. So I'd presume there'd be a lot of haggling over how soon he could join. Given the likely rate of development this year, perhaps people's knowledge will age faster than previous years, but still!

    Yeah, but AM kinda need a team principal right now .

    Anyway, I'll keep treating it as rumour for the time being, but according to BBC sports :

    However, Wheatley's existing contract with Audi means it could be some time before he is able to join Aston Martin.

    Why would Wheatley do this? Is the money enough to wage up for all the downsides?
