Dennis denies rift with Hamilton camp

(GMM) McLaren boss Ron Dennis has rebuked paddock gossip of a relationship breakdown with Lewis Hamilton and his father-manager Anthony.

The London newspaper The Times earlier this weekend suggested that, despite their history stretching back to 23-year-old Hamilton's boyhood, a rift has emerged between Dennis and the Hamilton camp.

The report also said the Hamiltons "do not get along" with McLaren's head of communications, Matt Bishop.

"That's not worthy of comment," Dennis reacted at Silverstone, before Hamilton recorded a dominant win at the British grand prix.

"Everybody knows we are very close. I've always taken a personal interest in Lewis' career, so those suggestions are without any foundation," he added.
