With any luck. I would expect Dennis to dramatically improve the McLaren successes. I wonder what Lewis Hamilton will make of this change?
I would not hold your breath on that one. Who was responsible for LH debacle, who put the head of aero on gardening leave, half way through the design on the 13 car...It will be interesting to see who the F1 Sponsor is
If Whitmarsh is out on his ear then this is quite possibly a good thing. McLaren's strategy has been pretty dire for the past few years with defeat snatched from the jaws of victory time and again.
I wonder who will replace him? Ross Brawn would certainly be an interesting candidate.

Don't think Brawn and JB get on to well.....did he not have to go to Court to get his 2010 car?
Where did that brawn / Honda, guy nick fry end up.?
I think the issue was Nick Fry as the commercial guy that JB fell out with over the car.Where did that brawn / Honda, guy nick fry end up.?

Fry was thinned out from Merc some time ago. I don't think he was at all competent hence the sponsor less earth car farce.

They both seek success at a level bordering on obsession. Could be a very hot mix. Or explosive.
When Brawn has had his own team is he going to be able to work for Dennis? Brawn has Whitmarsh's job and tell's Dennis to leave him to it?Would Brawn bring anything from his Honda/Brawn deal to benefit McLaren in 2015?
Nick Fry was ex-Ford road cars.
Ahhhhhh... so that's why MW was monobrow's biggest fan for a while. I thought it was odd those stories kept surfacing, the love seemed a bit disproportionate considering the history. If Alonso had signed for 2014 that would have been a very bitter pill for RD to swallow if he wanted to come back....
Good fun!
Good fun!
