The other principal owners of McLaren, Bahrain investment fund Mumtalakat (50%) and Mansour Ojjeh (25%) have been trying to remove Dennis for some time, particularly after his failure to secure a new title sponsor after the teams deal with Vodafone ended in 2013.
Denisam pašlaik pieder 25% "McLaren Group" akciju. Puse akciju ir Bahreinas investīciju fondam "Mumtalakat", bet vēl 25% Denisa ilggadējam biznesa partnerim, Saūda Arābijā dzimušajam francūzim Mansūram Ojē.
