ron dennis is a man who specifically requested a size of tile for the MTC floors so they wouldn't have to cut any to fit and would have full-size tiles everywhere. imagine how he'd feel with the wal-mart logo on the front of that building.

Human Grand Prix posted:The golden era of sponsorship was not only the tobacco era, but also the era where Italian heat exchanger manufacturers from Piedmont sponsored grand prix teams. RIP an Italian dairy company being one of the biggest sponsors of the sport.

Ron dennis adds sugar to his tea one grain at a time and if he exceeds 100 grains he fires an intern.

Ron Dennis doesn't have OCD so much as he has Rich rear end in a top hat Disorder. I live in the hood. I'm much more concerned about loving Somali gangs trying to burn my condo building down than how my flooring lines up even if it does look awkward.

Ron Dennis is to ensure only suitably shaped Nachos inhabit the Mclaren motorhome. The recruitment of Sergio Perez to the Woking team nearly collapsed at the last minute when it was revealed the 22 year old was a big fan of his country’s staple diet of re-fried leftovers and crisps. Camp interior design expert, Laurence Llewelyn Bowen said, “serving spicy South American finger food amidst Mclaren’s proto-industrial minimalist chic is a recipe for disaster.”

Jackie Stewart used to ensure that the tires on the team transporter, when parked, always had the company logo top-and-center, which I think would have made Ron proud.
