(McLaren-Honda)
McLaren Technology Group Chairman Ron Dennis has confirmed
that new signing Fernando Alonso has no performance related get out clause with
the Woking based outfit amid suggestions that the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 Team
could try and sign Alonso for next season should reigning world champion Lewis
Hamilton leave the team.
Dennis confirmed that no driver has ever had a get out
clause and that is the case with Alonso. The 67 year old has also dismissed
suggestions that he could be ousted by the board if he does not come up with
the capital to buy shares in McLaren that would allow him to take a majority
shareholding in the company. Dennis currently owns 25 percent of the McLaren
Technology Group.
Dennis also confirmed that there is no time limit to when
the capital needs to be raised. The Englishman has also played down reports
that the team approached Christian Horner, saying
'not to my knowledge and I
certainly didn’t.’
