Your implications are rather arrogant, to be honest. They're great achievements, no doubt, but you cannot say that others will never surpass them. In addition, as a collective, it is harder to match the achievements of an individual, because there is always a lack of consistency. Ron Dennis will always be Ron Dennis, but the people that make up Renault will constantly be changing. That said, in two hundred years, they could do plenty to go further than Ron Dennis.
And so what if they returned to the sport for publicity? They've proved that they're racers, and that was the case before they left the sport, too. They've powered teams to championships with their engines, and won two for themselves recently. Renault have plenty of history of their own, you know
Kovalainen has underperformed; that's not Dennis' fault. I just laugh anyway, for if Renault were to remain in Formula One for the next two hundred years, they'd still never match the personal achievements of Ron Dennis.
You know? That comment is pretty much as bad as the stuff that AKR comes out with about how Ferrari are so great and how Dennis and McLaren are nothing. Well done!
Well, it's true, even though I was not referring directly to McLaren. The fact is McLaren are a great team with a wonderful history, founded by the legendary Bruce McLaren. Had he not been killed in 1970, the team would have had a road car business going etc.. Sadly, his plans for his team died with him. Renault, on the other hand, jumped back into Formula One for publicity purposes.
Dealing with Ron Dennis more specifically, he started off from the bottom as a mechanic, going through all the junior formulae before moving on to Formula One. In every category in which his cars raced, they were successful and his teams contributed a lot to the series. His track record in Formula One speaks for itself. Anybody who can boast to having oversaw more Grands Prix victories than Enzo Ferrari, Sir Frank Williams and Colin Chapman has a hell of a lot to proud of.
