Do you know your cars? Pretty much all of them post Ron Dennis! It was McLaren Automotive’s current CEO Mike Flewitt who’s vision has inspired the super cars not Ron Dennis. Also, it wasn’t Ron’s idea to build super cars but his old business partner and current McLaren shareholder Mansour Ojjeh......FACT.
Chooses his words carefully, and talks very articulated. Intelligent guy that I'm guessing you would not want to be on the wrong side of. Much respect.
Let me tell you a couple of three things: 1 He was a glorified team owner not a manager 2 He was not the strong silent type 3 He must to gooooo! ( Carlo's shouting) End of story.
We miss you Ron Dennis, you built up McLaren from the bottom up and you didn't deserve the exit you received. Sometimes the best of leaders must fall, but this instance was a real tragedy.
No he didn’t Bruce McLaren made mclaren from nothing Ron Dennis was just another part to mclaren at that time mclaren moved on from that time the same ax it is under Zack brown same as it will be under its next leaders in years to come
MrPorterj I heard he was a bit of an arsehole. But yeah I think he was alright. He was passionate about his drivers and his team. It's a shame he was caught up and look like the bad guy in the spy gate thing. Btw Zak Brown is a great guy, really nice bloke, very good with fans. Go McLaren 👍
I was gonna say this!! I've never seen this footage. Crazy! It was like a gangster giving negotiating a cocaine deal with a rival gang. I'm very surprised that conversation happened there and not behind a closed door.
This was during a session of course, but the pit channel of F1 digital+ was kind of funny since they didn't even stop broadcasting between FP3 and FP4 and in one case for example you could see & hear Briatore chatting with his then girlfriend Naomi Campbell. You really got a feeling of being there in the paddock.
DrewMongo it would have been a huge mistake if Schumacher joined mclaren. He was smart enough to see that they were struggling, and how quickly senna jumped ship to Williams.
What is even more weird is ron telling him to be careful when he reaches the limit. These illuminatti bastards were probably planing on killing drivers and senna and the other guy died.
that is what happened when you have "business partners". but look at mcleran racing team without him. (he handed the team management over to whitemarsh a long time ago) then the "shareholders" squeezed him out when he failed to raise enough money to buy them out..... money from the middleeast are always from the "sovereign" fund (aka oil money) no private investment can compete with that.
@@hughcdavies Ron made Mclaren great again. Only mistake was to divert from F1 to becoming a road producing and hitech technology manufacturer that cause him to take his eye of the ball. Still...he made Mclaren what it was.
@Some random guy Very true...but I think he wld not have dropped the ball and wld have maintained to b one of the top 3 teams at the least with that keeping sponsors. Moving back to Merc. is a great move. Long live Mclaren!!
Well he finally got the much deserved knighthood. He has his critics, but back in 2007 when the team were excluded from the constructors' championship, which they would have won, the mechanics made him a replical of the trophy. They obviously thought a lot of him.
I thought for a moment Ron was going to have to be "very clear" with Ms. Perry when she found a way to ask the same (answered) question multiple times.
@@sonicstep It was Mika, dude. See his memories. And I know first hand Mika and Ron had the perfect bond. Lewis was a disappointment, he defected to Merc, like Kimi did to Ferrari. Mika was above them in everything.
@@Aramis_ProductionLewis moved to McLaren because of Martin Whitmarsh. The politics Whitmarsh was playing pissed of Lewis. When Ron head the news he ran back and offered him more money than Mercedes but Lewis said the trust had been broken.
Come on, Florentino is more sucesful than this overrated pit stops crew boss 😂😂😂. He wins Europa League this year, Ron? He was fired for being as clumsy as stupid😂😂😂
I was always a huge McLaren fan. But my enthusiasm for McLaren ended when Ron Dennis was completely gone. After that, McLaren was no longer the team that I celebrated for decades. McLaren is a completely different team today - also visually. I just miss the certain shine and style of the McLaren-Mercedes days.
How prophetic Ron's words were to Schumacher, and that was in more ways than one. Sad fact is Schumacher was not too careful and it cost him his life and somewhat his reputation.
I think he was referring to the reputation that Michael developed over his career as being a terrible sportsman when things don't go his way. His legacy is his stats, not his driving unfortunately. When you compare him to Senna or Prost or Fangio, his legacy remains one of several incidents that has left a bad taste in the mouth of people who watched the sport when he was driving. He was a phenomenal talent and showed it in 2006 IMO, but he never had a season where he won while having inferior machinery. In that sense Ron was correct, that he could be remembered for all the bad reasons even though he was a phenomenal talent.
Excuse me, I'm sorry I don't speak english very well, could someone summerize what Ron Dennis was saying to young Michael Schumacher (there's also Willi Weber, Schumi's manager) in minute 4:30 and later on? REALLY THANKS!!
Davide Accorsi he said when the time is right come to McLaren and see maybe you can join the team. And told him to look after himself because he is always on the limit.
@@davideaccorsi5637 Not sure that they were very close to signing but Ron would be crazy not to put out some feelers. And Michael was being very respectful.
@@davideaccorsi5637 I believe this was winter 92-93 when Senna did not sign till the 11th hour (he did a CART test in USA with Emerson Fittipaldi) just before the start of the 93 season and Senna ended up getting a 1 million per race contract from Ron cuz obviously he was desperate to hang on to him
Did Ron rejected Schumi as his driver for ,,,,1993 going ,??? Wauuhh ,if yes the after he won 2 WC titles just as Horner rejected Lewis in 2012 n suggested Merc for him..n now see he has won 3 WC titels..
@@aroonvarma Niki Lauder was told by Mercedes to make them a championship wining team, he told Mercedes that they need Lewis if they want to win Championships. Mercedes then gave Niki permission to ask Lewis if he would consider driving for Mercedes. He told Lewis he could win one more title with Mclaren, or many more with Mercedes, and he'd be the first to do it in a Mercedes.
I really don't know what Ron brings to anything! I always found him to speak like he is in the witness box. Then when he speaks about McLaren you somehow find yourself falling asleep. It takes a special someone who can make the greatest team in F1 sound so dull. He obviously has some skills no doubt but God knows what there are! Maybe the team would do better if they actually knew what the hell he did that made them so successful.
No he wasn’t he sold his shares his time was over new owners wanted results and Ron dennis could not produce those results. Ron dennis has said himself he left of his own accord sold his shares and mi ex in with his life he had no issues of his leaving. That was from the man himself so you talking utter cobblers he had his time ruling mclaren that time was over
Yes it’s 5 years since you posted this but idiocy is a lifelong condition. You are describing the same McLaren who didn’t win any championship (constructors or driver) for 9 years before Hamilton joined and haven’t won one since he left 12 years ago? When you post something, do you consider how daft you sound to anyone with a passing knowledge of the sport?
My favourite quote of Ron " Cut me and I bleed McLaren"
not only was ron dennis the heart of the F1 team, but also the road cars, name a good mclaren after after the P1 which was last car under his watch.
600LT, 765LT, Senna, Speedtail, Elva.

He was the heart and soul of McLaren
A seven part Doco on Amon & Bruce McLaren Racing,.
www.nzonscreen.com/title/trio-at-the-top-2001
He should be called Sir Ron Dennis no matter what happened the last years everyone was stealing info from others 😂
@@deliriumbee4678 must agree there he was the foundation of that team and brought winners to champions and legends
He really was. Total heart and soul.
But even he said he’s just a chapter in the book.
Ron Dennis looks like the Tony Soprano of the paddock
"LOOK AFTER YOURSELF......"
Ron never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Let me tell you a couple of three things:
1 He was a glorified team owner not a manager
2 He was not the strong silent type
3 He must to gooooo! ( Carlo's shouting)
End of story.
The look on KMag's face was gold!
That conversation between Ron and Schumacher, can you imagine Mika and Micheal in the same team.......................just gave me goosebumps
MSC would have not won 7 championships. Maybe he would have won '03 and '05 but that's it.
@@12123188 Depends a lot on who would've gone into Ferrari. Without Schumi that team would be fucked.
Ironic conversation considering what happened to Schumacher off the track.
Everyone misses the irony in that conversation. He was playing mind games with Schumacher.
We miss you Ron Dennis, you built up McLaren from the bottom up and you didn't deserve the exit you received. Sometimes the best of leaders must fall, but this instance was a real tragedy.
@SilverArrow_xxx wrong dude. How many titles McLaren won under Brown 0, under RD 17 in total.
I dont, and Honda doesnt either
No he didn't built up McLaren, learn up the history
No he didn’t Bruce McLaren made mclaren from nothing Ron Dennis was just another part to mclaren at that time mclaren moved on from that time the same ax it is under Zack brown same as it will be under its next leaders in years to come
Ron Dennis is McLaren, he is also a fine chap, and a legend. God bless you mate.

@@tydawidowski6245 he was a complete arsehole
Not just bit of one, but!… that man sure did get results and at that level that’s what it takes
Ron sounds like a MOB boss who got turned down on his offer talking to schumacher
I was gonna say this!! I've never seen this footage. Crazy! It was like a gangster giving negotiating a cocaine deal with a rival gang. I'm very surprised that conversation happened there and not behind a closed door.
I would think he meant look after your own benefits not the team , or drive safely , it could well be a threat tho@@Phoenix1664
"-You must have something better to do with that camera" :D
Ron Dennis
Ron is a handsome guy, cant blame the camera guy
This was during a session of course, but the pit channel of F1 digital+ was kind of funny since they didn't even stop broadcasting between FP3 and FP4 and in one case for example you could see & hear Briatore chatting with his then girlfriend Naomi Campbell. You really got a feeling of being there in the paddock.
Is it true that he snorted like in this video at 1:40 th-cam.com/video/1GK9Q5fdku8/w-d-xo.html
That was brilliant. 😁
Original video contained a clip in which Ron Dennis called Eddie Jordan a village idiot, but it was blocked by Sky Sports F1
Stopping people from watching F1 is their speciality. Fuck sky.
goodbye sky
But this is from channel 4s coverage
Cancelled their f1 a while back, they suck.
Shame. 😂
”just look after yourself
yes, that gave me goosebumps... very foretelling in retrospect.
Michael replied ... is there something bad gonna happen to me? suddenly we are in GODFATHER movie..
that was so like a mob scene!! :)
Damn, that was intense.
Yep was almost eery, and don't forget both of them saw Senna die
That conversation with Schumacher was beautifully awkward!
I feel like Schumi was being fake nice and more like "leave me alone"
DrewMongo it would have been a huge mistake if Schumacher joined mclaren. He was smart enough to see that they were struggling, and how quickly senna jumped ship to Williams.
Schumacher was in a law-suit with Mercedes-Benz at the time, so bringing it all together in 1995 would've been very difficult to say the least.
What is even more weird is ron telling him to be careful when he reaches the limit. These illuminatti bastards were probably planing on killing drivers and senna and the other guy died.
@@felipejose9909 senna really ?
Great vid- not the scripted conversation we see and hear today.
No, realist spotted.
Ron-speak added to the paddock. Shame he got himself sacked but that was always going to be the only way he left.
Ron Dennis, Jean Todt and Colin Chapman... My favorite team bosses in the history of F1
Ken Tyrrell, too. For me.
What a legend. I am going to miss Ronspeak.
Ron Dennis was treated absolutely disgracefully by McLaren in the end.
They did what needed to be done in the end I guess
Screw him

@@tiax1592 he made McLaren loose at leats two world Championships...
why
Fucking loved Ron, a proper team boss.

Ron Dennis talking to Schumacher is so awkward
Seems he was right after Schumacher's horrible accident after retirement.
@@t3b0g0 never thought about it that way... But wow, how true
he's seen a "few" accidents, he knows what he's talking about
‘At the right time, come and see, come and feel’ hahahah
Ron is a legend, cruelly pushed out of his own castle. Mclaren wouldn't exist without him.
Ron Dennis is one of the reasons that F1 is as good as it is now. He was the best Team owner / Chief of all time 🏁
Nobody cared more about seeing McLaren win. We miss you and I'm sure the team miss you too.
Ron WAS Mclaren☝
Bruce McLaren was McLaren
@@hughcdavies
Ron made Mclaren great again. Only mistake was to divert from F1 to becoming a road producing and hitech technology manufacturer that cause him to take his eye of the ball.
Still...he made Mclaren what it was.
@Some random guy
Very true...but I think he wld not have dropped the ball and wld have maintained to b one of the top 3 teams at the least with that keeping sponsors.
Moving back to Merc. is a great move.
Long live Mclaren!!
Him and Jean todt... Great moments

Well he finally got the much deserved knighthood. He has his critics, but back in 2007 when the team were excluded from the constructors' championship, which they would have won, the mechanics made him a replical of the trophy. They obviously thought a lot of him.
Miss ya Ron....McLaren will never be the same again!
Thank fuck for that
journalists can really be insufferable sometimes. but sometimes they get people to really say incredible things
Love him or hate him Ron Dennis is a Formula One Legend. You cannot not mention his name if you are talking about F1 history.
"It's a piece of jewellery"
Funniest statement ever!
A man i`m not ashamed to admit " I admire "
except for the personality, what a phuckin boring cucumber sandwhich eating
Such passion! Lovely to see!
Ronspeak at its finest!
He was a unit.
A wonderful leader, an inspiring character!
04:27 - 05:30 Vangelis' Pinta, Nina, Santa Maria is being played in the background.

weird ron told him years go about looking after himself and look wow
He should have listened ......
I thought for a moment Ron was going to have to be "very clear" with Ms. Perry when she found a way to ask the same (answered) question multiple times.
“Look after yourself”
3:35 if that sponsor executive told me that all the winning was bad for the sport I would have asked: “What are you smoking?” LOL
4:50 “look after yourself” perhaps not F1 but the mindset he could see this could end badly one day. Wise man and god bless you Michael.
What a legend.
I miss Ron creeping around the paddock
Looking for flesh.
3:07 he was so right. Look at Mercedes.
6:01 " YOU ARE THE ICEMAN KIMI !!!!!"

What happened Ron Dennis? I’ve been wondering where he’s been 🤔
He must be laughing his tits off at his duplicitous ex partners at McLaren now.
