McLaren

The latest rumor to reach our ears is something completely off the wall and one that has put us all in a bit of a shock. Ron Dennis is well known for directing the McLaren F1 team to many victories that include; nine drivers’ championships and seven constructors’ titles. He has been with the team since the ‘80’s and if the rumors are true he has just been fired.

The rumor went on to say that Mercedes-Benz – the engine partner and shareholder of the team – has been upset for some time with the way that Dennis handled the recent spy scandal and his inability to get them the championship. Dennis has already had to deal with him and his wife of 22 years separating.

The FIA is putting a stop to racism with their new campaign which they have called “Racing Against Racism”. They decided to put together this campaign after a racist incident that was geared toward Lewis Hamilton occurred in Spain during the F1 test session.

We heard through the grapevine that Mercedes is planning on buying out McLaren – which makes for an interesting move on their part. When Mercedes was asked to elaborate on this we got the answer we expected – nothing. They said no comment to every question that had to deal with this subject – which makes us wonder if it is true and they are trying to keep things hush-hush.

Florida based Mercedes tuner, RENNtech, has been given an exclusive contract to import and distribute the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT in North America. Things just got alittle brighter for the sunshine state - A1A Beachfront Avenue anyone?
