Ron Dennis F1 return

Ron Dennis handed over the reign as McLaren’s team principal on April 16th earlier this year to Martin Whitmarsh.

And now there has been rumors that the 62 year old would return after an appearance to the paddock recently in Abu Dhabi last month fueled the rumor even more.

But Ron Dennis has denies any claims of a return as he is content at establishing McLaren’s new production sports cars division.

It is believed Ron Dennis parted ways as part of a deal with Max Mosley over McLaren’s involvement in the espionage controversy that saw McLaren’s chief designer Mike Coughlan accused of obtaining confidential Ferrari technical data from Ferrari’s chief engineer Nigel Stepney.

Even Martin Whitmarsh has confirmed the statement.

Whitmarsh was quoted, “While I think everybody in this organisation is indebted to Ron for his leadership and visionary prowess, I also think it’s apparent that the team has started to acquire a slightly different style and personality over the last 12 months. Of course, there is still a huge amount of ‘Ron’ in McLaren – and that’s only natural and it’s hugely important and beneficial too – but the most important thing I want people to recognise is that the successes achieved by McLaren come from us being a team, not from any one individual.”
