Ron Dennis has denied claims that Bahrain winner Fernando Alonso only decided to switch to McLaren Mercedes for 2007 to make more money.
With Alonso currently earning about $7.2 million a year at Renault, is was earlier reported that his new McLaren retainer would be at least double that.

But while that may be true, Dennis revealed to the Sunday Mirror newspaper that Alonso might actually have turned down a mighty Renault counter-offer.

"The reason he came to us was not to do with the money," he revealed.
"He would have earned more at Renault."
