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 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.

600LT, 765LT, Senna, Speedtail, Elva.

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.

All of them.

he built a legend and an empire from scratch!

@@stueyguerreiro really? who introduced the first one in 1994 then?!

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.

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. 😂

@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

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 👍

@@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 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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z617bLRmy8rPpWw.html

That was brilliant. 😁

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.

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

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 ?

They did what needed to be done in the end I guess

Screw him

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.

@@tiax1592 he made McLaren loose at leats two world Championships...

why

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

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!!

No, realist spotted.

Ken Tyrrell, too. For me.

Thank fuck for that

Nice profile pic

except for the personality, what a phuckin boring cucumber sandwhich eating

He should have listened ......

No, it was Mika.

Looking for flesh.

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.

Many thanks for texting their conversation. It seems they were extremely close to sign a contract...

Many thanks. It seems strange that Ron Dennis and Michael talked like that. It looks to me they were close to a contract...

@@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

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😂😂😂

Hah , I can hear Jean Todt's laugh from here 😂😂😂

What do you mean with it cost him his life ? F1 cost him his life ?

Not dead yet

Nope.

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.

He only was a phenomenal talent ? Hahaha, that's funny. He was the only one who could REALLY drive.

Sign Ayrton Senna before anyone else maybe? That kind of thing?

Absolute dope

so to speak I must admit😂

Aggi Aggitus schumacher rejected the calls to join mclaren

@Sami bayeh get your facts right, horner did suggest Lewis to join Mercedes

Can you imagine such two egos in one team (LH and SV)? :-)))))))))

@@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.

The ramblings of a true armchair F1 expert. Bet Ham lives rent free in your head.

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?
