Dennis: Hamilton more important than team

28 October 2008

The McLaren Formula 1 team will rather win the Formula One world championship title for Lewis Hamilton than winning the constructors' title team principal Ron Dennis has said. Hamilton is currently leading the championship, seven points ahead of Felipe Massa.

"The primary goal in grand prix racing is the drivers' championship, the secondary is the constructors', and we run the team according to those objectives," Dennis told The Times. "We don't balance the two. Of course we try to win the constructors' trophy, because that determines your material income, but we aren't about money, we're about winning. If you are successful you inevitably make money, but the first objective is to win."
