McLaren Boss Ron Dennis Categorically Denies Setting Up Max Mosley

Posted by Admin on May 8, 2008

2008 F1 Mercedes Mclaren MP4-23 Team

has categorically denied allegations that he was in any way responsible for setting up the sex video scandal. It has been rumored that Team McLaren might have facilitated the News of the World investigation in response to the incredibly harsh $100 million fine they received from FIA last year.

This latest accusation was made by Radovan Novak, head of the Czech Automobile Association and one of Mosley’s closest friends. During a radio interview he was quoted as saying, “When the FIA, from the proposal of Mosley, fined someone significantly, then it gives you the feeling that it could be like that.”

McLaren Boss was quick to issue a response:

“I categorically deny that I have anything to do with the News of the World investigation into Mr. Mosley. Neither does anyone connected with the McLaren Group or the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team, and neither does any agent or any other party acting on my behalf or anyone connected with the McLaren Group or the team. We are writing to Mr. Novak and are currently considering the appropriate route via which the remarks that have been attributed to him may be withdrawn or corrected.”

FIA’s general assembly will meet on June 3rd for a vote of confidence that will decide Mosley’s future with the organization. We’re betting the Pro--orgy Party will not make up a voting majority.
