Publicly denounced by Magnussen of ungrateful dismissal on his birthday last October 5th Ron Dennis he defends himself and a month later explains the reasons that led him to the decision to eliminate the Dane.

“The reality is that we gave Kevin every possible opportunity, one season in F1 and one as a reserve with specific objectives to pursue, targets which he however was unable to achieve – the boss's thoughts McLaren reported by motorsport.com – Having said that we don't usually abandon our drivers, so if they need support we will be there. I remind you that we contributed to both Hamilton's and Rosberg's careers."

“With regards to the notification date, however, he was perfectly aware of the situation and that he had not done what was requested, so I don't understand his surprise. Maybe I should have been a little harsher and clearer earlier. In any case, for him to declare that he didn't know anything until the moment of the letter is ridiculous" – concluded the English manager.
