Ron blames internet for McLarens Cock up's

[AndrewW-G]

Ron Dennis - McLaren Mercedes said:

I have said so often, the Internet has been the bane of our lives," he said at Interlagos last weekend. "This is an uncontrolled, unedited, source of information that is fed into the media.

"Of course, I am not critical at all of the media. It just makes it so hard because everything is so instantaneous. You are just spending too much time trying to correct the inaccuracies that come into the system."

So Rons claiming the tinterweb is to blame for McLarens cock ups this yeat .......he's such a funny guy

Weird. He could have got hold of what would have been WDC winning strategies if he'd followed the 'official' race threads each GP and been handy at pressing F5. Seriously.

Haven't you just reinforced his point. You have taken a quote without a referenced source, added your own spin that its the reason for their cock ups and presented it as fact on the Internet.

I don't doubt that Ron finds lots of stuff on the Internet to be untrue but i also don't suppose they forgot to bring Hamilton in for new tires because they were reading PH. Ah yeah i take you point they probably were on PH.

Just what I was thinking. He makes a point which is clear to anyone with more than a little brain, and someone completely mis-interprets it.

• looks forward to AndrewW-G's opinion appearing in the Mirror**

NO!! if they'd been on PH, they'd have found out about LH's tyres being down to the canvas and pitted him.

Oh shucks you've found me out ........ One of the things I like most about people who have a genuine interest motorsport is that unlike football you dont have to pick just one side and support them blindly no matter what they do

and the source for the original quote was www.Autosport.com , who were of course interviewing Ron Dennis

I don't see your logic. Please explain where your quote and the one from Ron have anything to do with each other. Maybe I'm missing your rose tinted glasses?

But you took it completely out of context, which is the point a few here have tried to make to you. In fact, there's no link at all between what he said and what you're claiming.

He was referring, in part, to the Hamilton gearbox saga, but also to the way the internet allows unsubstantiated 'news' to be broadcast as fact.

Go on, admit you're wrong. You'll feel better.

I heard from Mclaren that you think women are great But did'nt know if you could eat a whole one.

Ferrari said You only went with men.
