Dennis transformed ღ;McLa🌸ren into an F1 powerhouse of the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, leading the Woking-based outfit to win seven constructors’ championships and 10 drivers’ titles. 

He also famously handed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton his F1 debut in 2007. Hamilton won his first world title with McLaren in his second season in 2008 and remains the team🐈’s most recent world champion. 

After 36 years at the helm, Dennis stepped down as chairman and chief ex༒ecutive of the McLaren Technology Group in late 2016. 

McLaren have been unable to return𝔉 to their formeꦡr heights and are enduring a challenging start to the 2023 season. 

“Ron was a pe꧟rfectionist wasn’t he? He just had everything planned. He wanted the [Ayrton] Sennas, he wanted the [ಌAlain] Prosts,” Jordan said on the Formula for Success podcast. 

“To be fair, we all laughed and joked, we took the mickey out of Ron a little bit because of how clinical he is, both in cleanliness and the way he prepares the car and the peop𝄹le, but I bet they wish they had him back.

“Because McLaren now are nowhere near where they were. You can say what you like, Ron Dennis was jus♍t fantastically dedicated and committed to his team and [he was] the unsung hero to the staff members and people [who worked there.]”

Jordan’s comments could b✃e viewed as a dig towards c💮urrent McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown. 

Ex-F1 driver David Coulthard, who raced with McLaren for nine seasons, thinks his form🌺er boss was often “misunderstood”. 

“Ron Dennis was, I think, misunderstood to the outside world,” Coulthard said. ไ“Because he was an incredibly caring individual to the team and took care of his team personnel if they had medical issues or the🙈ir family had issues.

“He took care of them quietly, but 🥀in a great way because he understood the importance of the team.”
