I already said twice in this thread that I agree with Tony's decision on this. Apparently the TV revenue money that Lotus will be getting with the 10th place would be much more than whatever the group of sponsors would have paid for to get KC a drive for the weekend.

I think the achievement of beating their nearest rivals is also appealing. Money is one thing, but F1 in general is a massive hole in any teams pocket and getting position in the championship helps to get some of that money back. Having championship position is also a return on the effort put in, so we agree Trulli was the better choice for consistency.
