After being disqualified from the 1989 Japanese GP and receiving a 6-month license suspension for “causing an accident” with Prost, Senna contemplated quitting F1 and was convinced to rejoin (in part) by Ron Dennis

Lewis (Hamilton, the f1 driver) is way too independent to be able to work with McMahon. If you think Ron Dennis is a micro manager you ain't seen nothing yet. He should go to AEW.
TIL McLaren were unpopular when Ron Dennis was behind the Team.
1989 Japan Prost vs Senna Battle.. Ron Dennis' Appeal?
Why did Ron Dennis appeal the 1989 Japan GP's disqualification of Ayrton Senna? If my understanding is right, both Senna and Prost drove for McLaren and McLaren had already won the WCC. Why did he appeal a decision which would make no difference from a team principal's perspective since irrespective of Senna or Prost the WDC would still be won by a McLaren driver. Was it a bias or was it done purely out of sporting fairness and integrity?
Also why did both McLaren drivers retire the following race - Australian GP 1989.
Somewhere in his dungeon, Ron Dennis is probably thinking what a good discovery Hamilton was...

Made a short documentary about the rise and fall of Ron Dennis
I know most F1 fans have love/hate relationship with Ron Dennis. Probably for a good reason - he was quite a freak.
Anyways, I watched a 2 hour interview with him about a year ago and being McLaren fan recently put it together into a short documentary style vid.
What do you think of Ron personally?

Are Dennis Rodman and Metta World Peace(Ron Artest) the first vocal proponents of the importance of Mental Health in the NBA?
As I was watching the last dance I noticed that some things World Peace said mirrored a few things Rodman did as well. World Peace asked for personal absences in the start of the season which others thought was ridiculous but he wanted to take a break to alleviate his anxiety and depression. Obviously he did not go about it in a perfect way just as Rodman and this is a reason his teammates and coaches were kind of not receptive to their actions. Rodman similarly also famously went to Vegas in the middle of the season and changed his outlook on life after breaking down emotionally and mentally when he was with the Pistons.
Later on World Peace learned how to control his emotions and changed his name to be more positive and showed the advantages of receiving help. World Peace shut down his ego and was a key piece for the Lakers in 2010.
Is/was Ron Dennis hated?
The question is simple, but if he is, why is it exactly?
It's one of the topics that I've never really learned about and he was a pretty big character in F1 in his time, so I would definitely love to hear some of your opinions on him!

In 1993, Ayrton Senna got a commerical plane from Sao Paulo to Frankfurt to make an unscheduled stop at Rio because Mclaren hadn't wired across his $1 million for the upcoming race in Magny Cours. He told Ron Dennis that he wouldn't get back on unless he got the money!

Ron Dennis Reacting to Lewis
I recently began perusing Adrian Newey’s informative volume entitled How to Build a Car, but was immediately aghast as to his mocking reception of Ron Dennis’ evidently superior leadership approach. I felt compelled to share this passage so that we may all object to the slander against our dear Ron.
Ron Dennis, Alain Prost und Keke Rosberg (v. l. n. r.) - McLaren 1986
The Ultra rare McLaren F1 GTR XP1 LM at MTC. Ron Dennis promised Lewis Hamilton him this car if Lewis ever won 2 consecutive championships with McLaren. So Lewis put an identifying mark somewhere in the car so that McLaren won't try and give him a replica which makes this one even more special.
[Will Buxton ] All empires need inspirational leaders. Alongside Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Sir Frank Williams, Ron Dennis and Jean Todt add Toto Wolff to the all time greats. His @MercedesAMGF1 team is the most successful our sport has ever known. He’ll bat away the plaudits, but what a man.

[Thomas Maher] With Sir Frank formally leaving his role as Team Principal and joining the likes of Ron Dennis, Giancarlo Minardi, and Eddie Jordan in F1's history books, it's Christian Horner who now leads the way in terms of experience. 16 years in charge at RBR.

What happened between Ron Dennis and Gordon Murray?
I recently saw an interview with Gordon Murray and when he was asked about Ron Dennis, he firmly said "pass". He wasn't willing to say anything at all.
I couldn't find anything substantive around the internet. What happened between them?
Well? Does Ron Dennis contain profanity?
Why is Ron Dennis so infamous/controversial?
As the title says, I hear a lot of people talking about Ron Dennis as a controversial figure or maybe I’m getting the wrong end of the stick.
But what makes him so well known and talked about in F1?
Absolutely fucking destroyed. On the @f1 post with a 2006 video of Hamilton saying that he told Ron Dennis at 10 that he wanted to drive his car.
Can someone walk me through how exactly Ron Dennis came to be ousted from McLaren?
I’m fairly new to F1 and I’ve heard of the legend of Ron Dennis, so while reading up on him on Wikipedia it just mentions “internal struggle” and him eventually stepping down from leadership before selling his 25% stake, but there’s not a lot of mention of why he left how the fallout happened. Any good info or articles to look into it?
