Speaking ahead of the French GP, McLaren boss Ron Dennis has dismissed the claims of out-going FIA President Max Mosley, that team bosses are unfocussed and unwilling to work together for the betterment of the sport.
"There were many things that were said by Max that were misleading and not accurate," the Englishman told reporters. "He portrays the teams as not being responsive in so many areas which is just not accurate.
"It is quite true that some team principals rejected qualifying and changed their positions during the course of the F1 commission," he admitted, "but this was preceded by a very clear statement from Max that he did not want this qualifying to be introduced.
"I don't think Max's reasons for leaving the FIA are consistent with what he says," said Dennis, "and I think you should look to the Formula One World Council meeting and try and explore fully what took place in there."
