Ron Dennis has blamed BMW for McLaren's failure to win Sunday's Australian Grand Prix
"Our race was seriously compromised by the Heidfeld strategy, which we just didn't understand," said the McLaren team boss.
"It smacked of showboating in the opening part of the race.
"We were boxed in and lost contact with Kimi, after which we had to take a realistic approach as we weren't going to close that gap."

I think Ron has a point but i wouldn't go that far as to say that BMW was showboating. Nick did compromise Alonso on the first corner by boxing him in which cost Fernando time and allowed Kimi to lengthen the gap... Lets not forget that Fernando was on the harder compound tyres which made it a little difficult for him to match either Lewis or Kimi's pace.

Eh? i replace into additionally questioning who had caught Max on video. distinctive people do in comparison to Max and it might desire to be any of them who recorded the video. it may additionally be that some paparazzi have been tailing him. it is not likely that Ron set up Max. there is a lot at stake right here and Ron should not be silly adequate to get in hassle with the FIA President. And for the checklist, i do no longer think of Ron lied concerning the Ferrari archives. He merely did no longer rather take Alonso's notice for it while informed that he (Alonso) had some info that he might desire to coach the FIA. enable's merely forget approximately approximately final 12 months's incident. this is over and settled

Oh yee of little faith that can only see as far as the tip of his nose!
The truth hurts then does it? Give credit to Heidfeld for a fluke of a lap but Ron has everything in check.
What would you have liked him to say? "Oh, our team sucks?" And what would that have done for team moral if he had to criticise his own team? Why not blame the small insignificant driver who had one quick lap?
He is not the boss of one of the greatest F1 teams ever for nothing you know!

I kinda think it is a bad excuse. This is racing. You are supposed to overcome things like this. It is as bad as saying that if we hadn't started in the back with the slower cars, we could have challenged for the win. It's a part of racing.

ron dennis knows what he is doing. He has won many championships, and helped shape the late, great ayrton senna. He is a very smart man. So what he was frustrated on sunday? Everyone has bad days once in awhile.

Not only is he a bad loser but, in my opinion he his not a good winner either. He never seems to give credit where it is due.
