Winning is all the motivation I need, says Dennis

RON DENNIS insisted he had no extra motivation to prove McLaren’s detractors wrong after the team enjoyed an excellent start to the 2008 Formula One season in Australia.

Lewis Hamilton comfortably collected his first victory of the season at Albert Park, while new team-mate Heikki Kovalainen finished fifth after being robbed of a podium by an ill-timed safety car period.

McLaren were fined a record £50m and stripped of all their constructors’ points last term after being found guilty of possessing technical data belonging to rivals Ferrari.
