Hamilton to fix Dennis rift before leaving McLaren
"We’re planning to meet up"
Lewis Hamilton has revealed he is hoping to sign off at McLaren on speaking terms with his former mentor Ron Dennis.
Dennis, the former team boss and still the chairman of the McLaren group of companies, groomed Hamilton through the junior ranks and gave him his F1 debut in 2007.
But reports suggest the pair had not exchanged a word since it was announced that Hamilton is jumping ship to Mercedes in 2013.
Briton Hamilton returned to McLaren’s Woking headquarters after the recent Korean grand prix, though, and the 27-year-old said in India: "I spoke to Ron and - me and Ron - we’re planning to meet up I think it’s in Abu Dhabi.
"We’ll go for dinner, have a good chat," added Hamilton at a sponsor event on Wednesday.
