McLaren celebrate title with spectacular fireworks display

McLaren celebrated winning their first drivers title in nine years in spectacular style tonight with a dazzling fireworks display at the team’s Woking base.

Lewis Hamilton became the youngest driver to win the Formula One World Championship on Sunday after finishing fifth in a thrilling Brazilian Grand Prix.

In recognition of Hamilton’s achievement and the hard work of the team, a special fireworks display was organised for all 1000 McLaren staff at the McLaren Technology Centre, followed by champagne, music and a speech by team principal Ron Dennis.

One of the tracks played was ‘My Way’, and in his speech Dennis said of the team’s championship success: ‘Well, we did it our way.”

Only a year ago McLaren employees had to endure the pain of seeing the team kicked out of the constructors’ championship as a result of the spy scandal.

    Is there ever a time when this bloke stops winging… the rules are trhe rules. Mate, you just can’t change them when they don’t suit! Perhaps, someone should pick-up the rattle that he’s thrown out of his mink lined cot. Thenagain given the stuff that fluently comes out of his mouth, perhaps perhaps they should change his nappy! You can learn a lot from one man in your sphere of operation, he being Felipe Massa, now he has both dignity and standing… Look closer to home, not at others for your shortfalls and failings… money talks and guess what if its the folding kind it floats too, a bit like the stuff in your extremely full nappy! Nuff Said!!!
