Ron nails one

[flemke]

In case anyone missed the pre-qualifying interviews on TV today, Ron Dennis was verily poetic when he commented on one of his fellow team-principals:
[i]Flavio is very impressive. I've never known of anyone who won so many races while knowing so little about racing cars[/i].

Nice one Ron.

Just about sums up Briatore.

It also shows that modern F1 is as much about those who have "love of image" in their soul, rather than "love of things petrol related".

[D_Mike]

he doesn't know much about racing cars, but he clearly knows a lot about managing people that do

Still, it's a nice quote. I'm quite looking foward to seeing what will happen tomorrow.

From the BBC sports site:
-------------
Alonso could seal the title in Brazil in two weeks if he wins six points.

But Dennis said: "It's not over. It's just more difficult. I wouldn't wish anything on anybody, but Alonso could slip over in the bath, couldn't he?"
--------------
It always struck me that Big Ron had a bit of the East End gansta' about him :-)

You reckon he'll arrange for someone to bathe with Alonso? That would make three in the tub, along with Ferdy and James Allen.

Haha.

I heard him say this and smiled to myself, thinking "I know a man who'd have enjoyed that!"

All the best.

[rubystone]

Yep, I reckon Big Ron's a "fixer" in another life. Top comment though eh?

Poor Flavio, tries to be young at heart

[pib]

Flav needs to write a book. Something for the young ones to read and follow. Aside from hanging out with young super models I like his statements with poetic antithesis:

Flavio had blunt words for those who suggest that his team are ‘sabotaging’ Fisichella.

“These are voices that come from someone who hates me since we were children,” said Briatore.

“It’s beautiful to see that people always have distorted minds when they ask this kind of thing.”
