F1 News - Dennis 'fine' with defectors who don't 'bleed McLaren' - February, 2013 |
Feb.6 (GMM) Ron Dennis has declared defiantly that McLaren can thrive without those who do not bleed 'rocket red' blood. Still the 'supremo' of the entire company, Dennis declared this week that - with Martin Whitmarsh now in charge - he has now "moved on" from his F1-dedicated days.But the Financial Times insists that Dennis, 65, is still firmly involved; consenting to Lewis Hamilton's departure and now musing the potential loss of McLaren's technical director Paddy Lowe, also to Mercedes.Dennis would not comment specifically, except to emphasise his beliefs about loyalty."You cut yourself, you bleed McLaren," he said."We're about winning, we care about how we win ... we want to win with the right principles, the right values."If people don't want to be part of that and want to go and do different things, then fine."Referring to the proverb about grass being greener on the other side, Dennis continued: "(But) if they get the hosepipe and the lawnmower out, they can easily contribute to making the grass greener their side of the fence".F1 News F1 Schedule F1 Line-up Constructors' Championship Drivers' Championship F1 Tickets Live F1 Coverage Full Version: Formula 1 News Formula 1 Schedule Formula 1 Line-up Constructors' Championship Drivers' Championship Live F1 Coverage 10 'n' Pole F1 Regulations The Forums Motorsport Shop F1 Merchandise F1 Tickets F1 Diecast F1 Videos F1 Games Back To Top |
