I'm so proud of Lewis, of the team - Dennis

By on

Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 Team Principal Ron Dennis was incredibly proud after a thrilling and exciting Brazilian Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton clinched his first championship title at Interlagos today.

Ron Dennis said: "Well, that was a really tough race. We never pushed hard, we never did anything silly, but of course the late rain made things extraordinarily tense. Even so, even when Sebastian got past Lewis, we never gave up, and Lewis never gave up, because we knew that Timo was on intermediate tyres. But Lewis took his chance brilliantly, and the result was one of the most thrilling finishes in sporting history. I'm so proud of Lewis; I'm so proud of the team; everyone - every single one of them - did an absolutely fantastic job."
