Legendary McLaren boss admits muting ‘RUBBISH’ F1 commentators
Formula 1 legend and former McLaren boss Ron Dennis revealed that he mutes modern commentary while watching races during grand prix weekends, as he prefers to focus on the purity of the sport that he knows so well.
Dennis, who led McLaren to multiple world titles with iconic drivers like Hamilton, Senna, Prost, and Lauda, stepped down from his role in 2009 and ultimately sold his stake in the team in 2017, firmly leaving F1 behind.
Despite still being an active F1 viewer, Dennis has no intentions of returning to the paddock, expressing his disinterest in outdated opinions and feeling like a spare part in the evolving sport.
After Dennis’ departure, McLaren faced a period of struggle but eventually regained success, winning the constructors’ title in 2024 and maintaining strong performance with drivers Norris and Piastri in contention for further championship victories.
As Dennis focuses on other passions, McLaren continues its resurgence in F1, underlining the enduring legacy of its former leader in the sport’s history.
