He has been the team’s faithful manager since the 1980’s and has done a successful job of leading them to many victories. Yet, it seems lately that he has been losing his grip on things and Mercedes-Benz has taken notice of this as well. According to recent rumors Dennis is being fired because of the way that he handled the spy scandal and because he was unsuccessful at obtaining the championship.
