I would love to know how Ron Dennis can be a cheater when it was he who phoned the FIA to report the evidence on which McLaren were convicted.Once again, DD's bitter, anti-Ron Dennis views are clouding the facts.

Also:
'But as reported earlier, a rumour has been swirling all day in the Spa paddock that Dennis actually pre-empted the disgruntled Alonso, who was at the time threatening to take the offending emails to the FIA.'
So, his reporting is not washing his vest any whiter. I don't think he cheated (but who knows? anything could come out down the road - nothing surprises me anymore...), but he fostered the climate or didn't take measures to prevent such a climate to be generated among his team that was conducive to cheating and unethical behavior.
...well, thats exactly how i feel now this has all come to light....if Fernando is in a Ferrari next year, consider me a ferrari fanI'm wondering where all of the $100m will be going. The WMSC/FIA's pockets? Ferrari?
Anyway, to those having a go at McLaren fans for defending the team, would it not be the same if it were the other way around? Surely Ferrari fans would defend JT and co, if they were found guilty of the same thing...
Some of the $100m will be offset by TV money lost due to lack of constructors points.
If I was a team supporter as opposed to a driver supporter, I'd be disappointed in McLaren's conduct to the point that I'd change allegiance. Same would apply to any other team.
The question now is, if ML should get punished for the actions of some of its employees, than how come Ferrari gets away with the actions of 1 of its employees. Shouldn't be a punishment for ferrari too?
whereas Alonso deserts the team, focusing instead on his own ambition of winning the driver's championship, when he was the man who has helped get them into this trouble in the first place.
Personally, if I was RD, I'd sit back and make him help Lewis to the title. The man's attitude stinks.
...well, thats exactly how i feel now this has all come to light....if Fernando is in a Ferrari next year, consider me a ferrari fanMcLaren was always the team i followed, but wRONgs "equal status " bullsh!t for a 2 time world champ schuey beater, and his "groomed protege/creation", has led me to the conclusion that wrONg is a useless phuqer when it comes to man-management skills. You would think he would have learned by now after the total balls up he made with Ayrton and Alain!!!!...but no, he phux up yet again, when he coulda had it sooo easy this season!!! he poached Fernando from Renault purely so that he could measure Lewboy against Fernando, and forgot a very important lesson in life; When you try to play 2 people against each other, sooner or later the sh!t will hit the fan and you end up covered in it
Alonso came to McLaren on his accord and, according to Dennis, the advantage of having two great drivers far outweighs the disadvantages. When McLaren had Prost and Lauda and, later, Senna ans Prost, the team did very well in all aspects. The fact is you are getting the spy scandal and the rivalry between Hamilton and Alonso mixed up. They are two separate issues that would have happened regardless of the other, the only difference is Alonso thought he could try to blackmail Dennis saying as the spy scandal was already under way. Alonso is only bitter because he has put in the shade this season by his rookie teammate. If Alonso was the better driver, not a word would be said about equality etc.
Finally, perhaps DD would like to comment on the many ways in which Ferrari generated a feeling in the team which produced unethical behaviour?Have Ferrari not been unethical in the past by using devious methods to assist them in aquiring titles? Have they not ever caused shame to sport and fallen out with drivers? Was it not that Stepney was so unhappy at the Ferrari, saying as they mucked about with his career, that the whole scandal kicked off? The fact is DD, for you, it's one rule for Ferrari and another for McLaren. Your bitterness will get the better of you one day, which is a shame really, for you seem to pretty intelligent. It's a pity your intellect isn't strong enough to keep your bitterness at bay.
