Dennis defends his reaction to Hamilton retirement
Filed Under: F1 News
Ron Dennis has had to defend himself against comments in the Spanish press following his reaction to Hamilton’s retirement at the Chinese Grand Prix.
As Dennis realised that Hamilton would have to retire, he reacted with visible despair. This was in direct contrast to the week before when he showed no emotion when Fernando Alonso crashed into retirement at the Japanese Grand Prix.
“When Fernando had his accident, the car was destroyed,” Dennis explained. “There was nothing anyone could do. You always chose to see only one side of things!”
Dennis has also reiterated that both drivers would be treated equally in the final race of the season, and that Alonso’s tyre pressures had not been tampered with at either Japan or China.
“Have you seen anything that would make you think otherwise?” Dennis asked. “There is nothing. The tyre pressures were completely correct and Lewis’ lap was just very good – that is all. We will always be able to demonstrate that out actions are correct and impartial.”

To denounce the irregularities which have taken place during the 2007 F1 championship.
As witnesses of the events which have taken place during the 2007 F1 championship, and as admirers of this sport, we feel obliged to publicly denounce the irregularities which have occurred, clearly showing that the driver, L. Hamilton has benefited from the favors of his team, generating serious damages for his companion F. Alonso, whose career has suffered from the lack of interest of both his team and the International Federation of Automobile.

Of course what Berg is saying is absolute rubbish
Alonso is a whiney little baby who cannot handle the fact that his rookie team mate is as good as him. As a followed of INternational soccer for years, we have all seen the lack of fair play demonstrated by Spanish teams….they are the last people to complain about imaginary ‘irregularities’
If Alonso was a soccer player, he would be the one writhing around the pitch in agony….but miraculously recovers when he has an opposing player sent off
The petition does not mention the fact that Alonso tried to blackmail Ron into giving him the unfair treatment he complains about!!!!! How about that for heeee-poooo-creeeeeeeet!
