Dennis' focus driven off track by spy scandal controversy

MCLAREN boss Ron Dennis this week turns his attention away from the world title scrap involving both his drivers to focus on a very different fight.

Fernando Alonso’s victory at the end of a chaotic European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, combined with team-mate Lewis Hamilton’s ninth place, means the gap between the duo is just two points.

Dennis certainly could not be happier with the situation, although in many respects it has become overshadowed by the ‘spy’ scandal.
