Mclaren basically got caught with its hands in the cookie jar... Now they're paying the price. Its ironic that they had to resort to outright cheating to win an F1 championship.

And they had the nerve to drag Renault with them in the spy mess? Theyre situation is so desperate that theyre just basically clutching at straws now.

What is ironic is Ron Dennis' plan of "driver equality" backfired on him...and Badly. He knew going in (like he didnt learn enough from the lesson of Prost and Senna) all the trouble he's getting himself into coddling L Hamilton and the same time addressing the needs of his "number 1" driver Fernando Alonso.

It came to a point that he was given an ultimatum by Alonso and was forced to pick sides. Well what did he do? he strutted around, told Alonso you signed the contract and you can go next year if you want but only until after Mclaren wins the championship.

He fostered hostility between his drivers and worse allowed suspect even illegal behaviour to occur in his outfit and under his watch.

Could you really blame Alonso if he testified against Mclaren? How could you foster loyalty from your driver if you let him out in the cold again and again? Alonso can be loyal heck he left Renault in good terms and still call Briatorre his friend. I dont think he calls Ron Dennis anything remotely like that.

In the end it was Ron Dennis' fault and his alone.

Serves his sorry a$$ right...

Sad part is Mclaren is paying the price for his folly.
