Dennis pays his respect to victims of plane crash

By on

The plane crash at Madrid on Wednesday keeps hanging as a dark cloud over the European Grand Prix at Valencia. Yesterday, the drivers and the leading figures of Formula One had a moment of silence at noon and today the drivers have fitted a Spanish flag on their helmets to show their respect to the victims.

Ron Dennis said to reporters in the paddock: "All at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes are deeply saddened by the recent Spanish air disaster. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of all those affected. We were honoured to be invited to take part in a minute's silence yesterday, and both Lewis and Heikki readily agreed to attach Spanish flag stickers to their helmets today."
