Ron Dennis, the head of Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, believes that no one should be blamed in his team for Hamilton’s exit during the Chinese Grand Prix.
Hamilton was leading the race until his right rear tire started to degrade significantly. One wonders what McLaren was waiting for to call in the Englishman, who was losing up to 7 seconds per lap to Alonso, who was closing in on him like a rocket. When the team finally called him in, Hamilton slid just in front of the pit entrance, turned right, and ended up in the gravel. Unfortunately, the car could not be removed.
Ron Dennis thinks that it is nobody’s mistake and that it is a racing incident.
“Nobody made a mistake. It was a very close season between all the drivers and everything will be decided at the last Grand Prix.”
“The track was much drier on the racing line than in the pit lane, everything was decided there.”
What is certain is that great suspense reigns, since Alonso, Hamilton, and Räikkönen can still be crowned at the last Grand Prix in two weeks.
