In a briefing with a select few British reporters, the F1 chief executive said McLaren chief Ron Dennis prefers his employees all adhere to a company "brand" rather than display individuality.

"What McLaren drivers have anybody ever taken to?" the 78-year-old billionaire is quoted as saying by the Mirror. I'd replace 'ever' with 'lately' though

"The 'Jack the Lad' type of driver doesn't fit into the brand. There is just a way about them (McLaren people), isn't there?"

"Ron doesn't want to breed individuals, anyone who stands out," said Ecclestone.

He contrasts McLaren's featureless style to that of Ferrari, the Italian team who "let people do what they like."


Like get drunk and fall asleep in races. :D

And drive into the back of/pull out dangerously infront of Force India cars. :P


Kimi does that too does he? I was just thinking of his lack of motivation since being allowed to "do what he likes"


At least Kimi knows to stop when the light is red.


I assume they all know to stop at a red light, just dont do it in the heat of the moment, but i wasnt talking racing incidents in the heat of the moment, i was talking general behaviour and attitude when "allowed to do what you like."

Oh ok. So in what race did this happen again? I mean a Ferrari driver getting drunk and sleeping during a race?
