My friends, the road has been rough, but out of the darkest of tunnels a light flickers

The best news for 4 years.

Top Ron speak

“My fellow shareholders have mandated me to write an exciting new chapter in the story of McLaren, beginning by improving our on-track and off-track performance,” he said. “Over the coming weeks I intend to undertake a thorough and objective review of each of our businesses with the intention of optimising every aspect of our existing operations, whilst identifying new areas of growth that capitalise on our technologies, and where appropriate further investing in them. During February, I will articulate a new Group strategy and implement the organisational structure best suited to achieving it. I am excited by the prospect of returning to the role of Group Chief Executive Officer and working with my many colleagues and fellow shareholders to fulfil our objective – which is to win at whatever we do.”

the night of the sharp knives approaches

Ron Dennis spoke to the team on Thursday afternoon and said that the name of the team principal would be announced next month. My spies tell me that he told the staff that “there will be change” and that “McLaren will win again”.

Can't wait to see his ugly mug at the races again

Yup I dont think Ron will be found disturbing goodlooking by many

[racechick]

YES! YES! YES! The rise of McLaren may be on the horizon! Too late for Perez but maybe Mag now gets a fair crack!! McLaren may just become my second favourite team

[What's Burning?]

Button was on a one year contract extension yes?

Can't wait to see his ugly mug at the races again

The ugly mug quota must be maintained now that Ross is gone?

I get the feeling that JB is gonna retire within the next 3 years anyway.

[CookinFlat6]

i reckon we could see Button out for 2014. Van the man in is the type of aggressive move Ron built McLaren on the back of

I don't think he'll have the luxury of three years if Whitmarsh is out

[CookinFlat6]

He could follow Whitmarsh to Nascar, some of them rednecks could be disturbing to Martin, who always asks his mummy for approval

I think Button will retire at the end of this year to be honest. I would imagine his Dad dying will of made him think of his own mortality.

This is what Jackie 'the mouth in the tartan skirt' Stewart says about that

He also doubts that the death of Jenson Button's father, John, last Sunday will have a negative impact on Button's racing.

"A racing driver is a peculiar animal.

"Look at all the death that we had and yet for whatever reason we still raced... I think racing drivers probably are tougher than most people.

"John lived the fullest of lives, and he had a heart attack and he was 70 years of age. And there wasn't much life that he'd missed."
