Yes to both. Brawn is staying on, and it appears that Kimi is indeed going to get paid not to race....

You know, i think they may be a surprise package. They have very experienced leadership and word is they are building a pretty solid car. I think there's a pretty good chance that they'll get points.

Yes, he is getting $15 million USD per year, from Santander, for the next two years. That is about 11.8 million Euro.

The amount will drop if he races in Formula One before 2012.
