Indeed it is a sad spectacle to see a man, a builder, a "ruthless businessman" and a visionary come to terms with his obsolescence. It is simply a matter of Ron's inability to recognize and accept that it was time for him to fold and walk away. F1 has evolved immensely and McLaren under Ron's leadership has not coped with the pace of evolution during the past 8 years to keep up with the youthful and highly creative teams of Mercedes and Red Bull, who are managed by two guys nearly half of Ron's age.

Gotta love those people/bosses who think they have to be righteous to be respected and to give the persona that they are tough, and that somehow this is the formula for success. So glad this style of management is eroding from our society.
Ron was McLaren, he came in and made the team a front runner. Now the ‘sport’ has changed but Ron and Sir Frank are both the beating hearts of their respective teams. Ron should have been given the honour and time to ensure he passed the baton to a suitable successor when he was ready. Share holders did themselves no favours and the team is a broken shadow of its former self. Saddens me to say they should quit F1 and concentrate on the road cars and sports car championships.
Ron may have been great in the early days of McL - but with the Honda era (or even before) he turned into a dictator, made wrong decisions, annoyed employees (and his engine suppliers) and threatened sponsors. He just got too full of himself in the end.

@@lenworthgoffe4165 Init! Christian has lead Red Bull for 16 years, that man is Red Bull Racing through and through, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a financial vested interest in the company. He'll do that job until he's past being good enough or Red Bull want a change, that day could be over a decade away. Apart from 2015 they've made the top 3 every year since 2009, 4 championships, many 2nd places, consistently delivering, Christian is a class act and will be remembered as such in the sports history.

Ron Dennis’s departure was the death of McLaren F1. You can see it now.
Oh come on. Ron Dennis get taken away? That is just silly.
Eddie Jordan ..... ? Who is he ? lol lol lol lol ... Ron Dennis was a great man and if the team,for some reason,went a bit "low",there was over 500 or 600 people working there to be blamed. But,somehow,the best people is normally the ones ended up getting the blame.

Senna should be there to send him off
Zak has Accomplished Zero..

Ron was a owner. Zak is an employee. Come on, you can’t compare a racer, a genius like Ron with nobody from Wankersville KY
Your comment aged bad lol
@@anthonymolina7416 Aged very well if you can say that after 5 month anyway, bozo. You cannot compare what Ron achieved with this.
@@Aramis_Production it’s way better than Ron left it in they were going nowhere with Ron in the hybrid era
@@anthonymolina7416 You would not know how good Ron will do. He did very well to make McLaren what it is today. Zak is just a scammer.
