Take a look at the drivers standing Ron - all you need to look at.iotar__ wrote:Re: Dennis dislikes Button and is unconditionally behind his own questionable ideas (Magnussen).

What exactly is this wake up call, mistakes at the start in every race? Or maybe that the driver who you fired is driving better than either of them? Or that you rushed unprepared Magnussen's F1 debut hurting him in the process? Drivers are not the biggest McLaren problem now but it's easier to talk about them than the fact that McL is the worst Merc team behind Williams and FI.
To me this is a very clear signal to Jenson that he's out next year, I mean Jenson is a world champion, he is a known quantity so this public dressing down strikes me as being something else. How can Ron on the one hand be:
''"happy with the drivers in the sense that I think they are giving their best,"
yet single out Jenson as underperforming.
''Come on Jenson, you are a world champion and one thing you can do on a consistent basis - and you should be doing it - is beating your team-mate'''
It's ridiculous. Especially when you consider that Magnesum was supposed to be the second coming.
I can't stand that man, and I hope that Alonso stays at Ferrari. Lewis would be out of his mind to go back. Mclaren don't know their head from their arse at the moment.
