How big a result for Minardi was fifth?

Quote from a very hung-over Mark Webber as he caught his plane at Melbourne airport yesterday morning:

"Last time I saw him (Paul Stoddart) he was pouring champagne over himself - that was about nine o' clock last night"

Conservative estimates would say approximately $15m big from FIA payouts. And that's before you consider the sponsorship possibiities of having scored points already. The Malaysians must be going crazy!

Best result since 1994
At one of their 5 home races (sad isn't it)
Asiatech's best ever result
About $15million (assuming one of Toyota, Arrows and the other non-scoring oz teams scores less than 3 for the season)
Exposure just when they need it
