not sure if this is the daughter who just had £15 million spent on her wedding.

As long as they spend then it keeps pumping out GNP!

that was Bernie's other daughter Petra
She (Petra) is also presumably the one who bought one of the largest & most expensive "homes" in the U.S. recently (Spelling mansion in Bevery Hills, ~56k+ sq. ft / listed for $150M & escrowed for ~$85M).

The comments I seem to recall are sort of snide ones......like we interviewed Ron in his Norman Foster shed which is sort of perfect and when we left we needed to light a cigarette just for some pollution in the real world.......etc etc ......Rons office is perfection and he asked us not to damage the chair/table......

Rarely that Ron does it his way and what a way......although that's now coming as the MPC and it's product make a global impact

So, in a country where it seems many are resentful towards Ron Dennis for the success that hard work has brought him, how would most Brits feel about this?

Its not just Ron, I have always found it is a very British thing to do, build up and root for the underdog, then slag him off when he becomes the success everyone hoped for !! But it only applies to fellow Brits, it happened with Mansell, Damon Hill, Lewis H, D Beckham, and on and on. The press don't do it to foreigners . It's like its rude to do well and reveal in beating others if your British.
I never understood it.
