    Although Ron Dennis has reportedly considered stepping down or moving into another position at McLaren, I would like RD to stick around for a while longer, at least for all of 2008.

    I would like to see RD squirm a lot more, engage in more "Ronspeak," and get caught with his pants down again and again.

    I want to see RD be embarrassed and shamed.

    I want to see RD drag Mercedes into the pigsty with him.

    I want to see how Matt Bishop, the recently "retired" Editor in Chief of F1 Racing Magazine, covers up McLaren's skullduggery in Bishop's new position at McLaren as "Group Head of Communications and Public Relations." I guess Matt Bishop's new job explains why the last several issues of F1 Racing have been so defensive of McLaren's misadventures and why F1 Racing has endeavored to trivialize the McLaren/Stepney saga. Matt Bishop's new job at McLaren had obviously been under discussion for many months before he announced that he was leaving F1 Racing for McLaren, so it is pretty clear to me that his writing, and that of many of the F1 Racing staff, was under the influence of McLaren for the last several months -- not necessarily that McLaren directly controlled F1 Racing Magazine, but rather, what poor SOB editor in his right mind would dare risk offending his new (future) boss by fearlessly reporting about McLaren's deep lies and misstatements?

    No, I for one want RD to be the pimple on McLaren/Mercedes' ass for all of 2008.

    You better believe it.

    What got me going was when I re-read the last 5 or 6 issues of F1 Racing. I can understand and appreciate F1 Racing's support and enthusiasm for Lewis Hamilton, but I couldn't get my head around F1 Racing's defense of the McLaren/Stepney saga. Somehow I had missed the fact that Matt Bishop was leaving his position as Editor in Chief for his new position at McLaren (I think this was first mentioned in the October and/or November issues). It was then that I got really annoyed at RD, McLaren/Mercedes, and F1 Racing Magazine.

    (I'm really NOT quite that upset as it might otherwise appear).

    Well yes he could, but I feel his role was more to smooth the waters, of the feud between Max and Ron and let them get on with building there car instead prolonging it ..which IMO is a good thing.

    I lose track of time (and dates) because a Martian day is about 39.5 minutes longer than a day on Earth.
