Dennis blames FIA for Alonso mix-up
Ron Dennis - Team Principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
Chairman and CEO, McLaren Group
Sep.30 (GMM) Ron Dennis has blamed the bad transcription of the World Motor Sport Council hearings for a misunderstanding with McLaren driver Fernando Alonso.
Alonso, 26, expressed surprise earlier this weekend when he denied Dennis' apparent admission to the Paris meeting that they were not on speaking terms.
"That was not true," the Spaniard had said.
Dennis responded by telling the Spanish news agency EFE at Fuji Speedway that the "transcription of the World Council was not very good" in quoting him as describing his chilly relationship with Alonso.
"The feeling inside the team is tense and competitive, but the emphasis that is being put on all of this (by the media) is ridiculous," he added.
