Ten years since Ron Dennis left Formula 1, and the paddock still misses him

It has been ten years since Ron Dennis made his final exit from Formula 1, and the absence of such a singular figure still leaves a massive void. The milestone arrived just as Toto Wolff equalled his remarkable tally of 17 World Championships in Mexico.

Some people might view the confession of missing him as a little odd. Ron is often dismissed as a divisive figure, someone others like to refer to as marmite because you either love or hate them.

That kind of label has always felt a bit premature. When you actually take the time to get to know personalities like that, those sweeping descriptions simply lose all relevance.
