He's always saying that. He was one of the ones telling everybody that we couldn't check traction control, and in the end, such a body of opinion built up saying that we couldn't check traction control that we felt bound to let it in and then the quid pro quo was getting rid of electronics in other parts. Well, once traction control and launch control and all these technologies became legal whose cars were sitting on the grid? Ron Dennis's, because the systems having become legal, he wasn't able to make them work, and it does lead us to believe that he would also not have been able to make a secret system, which we couldn't detect, that worked.
And it also makes us think that if he has the biggest electronics department of any team in Formula One, probably nobody else could either. Probably all that proved was that the whole of that business about we couldn't check the traction control was rubbish and a smokescreen. Dear old Ron, to his dying day, when he's long retired and in his bathchair, will still be saying people are bending the rules. When he says this, we say to him ‘tell us what?' and he can't. Then he says the problem is that the rules are not clear. The rules are clear, they are alright for everybody. We then say to him ‘Ron, tell you what, you and your very expensive lawyers, write a set of specific clear rules and we'll have a look at them.' That was seven years ago and I'm still waiting. I'm very fond of Ron, but I don't take too much notice of him any more.
Snacka om att totalsåga Ron Dennis. Är det någon förutom Jari som inte tycker att Ron är en gnällspik
