Is Ron Dennis going to get fired?
BBC Sport - McLaren deny that Ron Dennis has been demoted
McLaren's automotive branch has been shedding cash, but that's expected since it's a new company in a saturated sports car field. Ron Dennis stated that they're expecting to turn a profit this year, so it seems really premature for Ron to get demoted and then fired due to McLaren Automotive being in the red. No, I don't believe he'll get fired, but I do sense that Ron Dennis will be back in F1.
Martin Whitmarsh is driving the McLaren F1 team into the ground. I like the guy, but he's not getting the results expected out of their F1 team. I can see Ron Dennis coming back to the helm of McLaren's F1 department and getting some wins back for the team. McLaren are in a bind because they don't have an engine supplier setup for next season (rumored to be Honda), and they also do not have a title sponsor! They better make changes soon or they'll end up at the back like Williams.
