Mercedes hosted their annual media bash today at the Stokehouse, a restaurant in St Kilda which sits right on the beach. I was sat on the captain's table with Ron Dennis. Yes, here's here. There was speculation as to whether he'd come, as he's now officially handed over the running of the race team to his deputy, Martin Whitmarsh, in order to concentrate on the running of the wider McLaren empire.
Asked by one co-eater if he'll be continuing to take his rightful place on the pitwall, Ron said: "I'll be on the second row, in plain clothes", and that his headphones and radio will be "one way".
The tradition with Mercedes' Stokehouse lunch is that each table forms a quiz team, and are tasked with answering some very tricky F1 trivia questions. Luckily I was sat with some of the media centre's biggest anoraks. One of the questions we really should have nailed was "what was Ron Dennis's first grand prix". But not even Ron knew that.
Our quiz team was called 'The Martin Whitmarsh Appreciation Society', and we were beaten by just one point by 'Whitmarsh GP', headed by Whitmarsh himself, who accepted the trophy. "It might be the only silverware I get my hands on this weekend", he said.
So it's official: The McLaren MP4/24 is a dog.
