So despite what the press have reported, there is no war of words or any bitter hostility, well not from McLaren and Ron Dennis at least. Ron has openly admitted he takes no pleasure from seeing the once golden boy of McLaren struggle. "Kimi is a friend, and I've seen him struggle with problems,"

So despite what the press have reported, there is no war of words or any bitter hostility, well not from McLaren and Ron Dennis at least.

Ron has openly admitted he takes no pleasure from seeing the once golden boy of McLaren struggle.

Ron considers Kimi Raikkonen a friend, and despite now wearing the famous red overall’s, Ron wishes no ill towards his former employee.

"Kimi is a friend, and I've seen him struggle with problems," Dennis said, he continued:

"I see him as a friend, not a competitor, and seeing a friend in pain gives me no pleasure at all."

So Ron Dennis isn’t quite the cold hearted monster some people perceive him to be, also puts to rest the claims made my Senna’s ex girlfirend about her seeing Ron Dennis get a perverse kick out of Senna’s retirements in the Williams.
