Dennis not retiring says McLaren spokesperson

The German 'Auto Motor und Sport' reported that McLaren team boss Ron Dennis would step aside if his team wins the championship title this season. A spokesperson of the team however has dismissed the rumours to our colleagues at 'autosport'.

The spokesperson said: "Recent articles suggesting that Ron is considering stepping back, or that he will step back if the world championship is won by Vodafone McLaren Mercedes this year, have been based around a very old quote.

"Ron has made it clear on numerous occasions that he has made no decision as to if and when he may or may not step aside."
