That would be too good, but it was a little more:

McLaren-Honda – 320 places
Button: 165 (Canada: 15, Austria: 25, Belgium: 50, Italy: 5, Mexico: 70)
Alonso: 155 (Austria: 20, Belgium: 55, Italy: 10, Russia: 35, Mexico: 10, Brazil: 25)

Strangely it is backing for Jenson Button by the UK division. I guess this is an extension of an already scaled back deal that existed this season.

Not the big deal that Ferrari have.
