Speaking to CBI magazine Business Voice, he said: "I think it's wrong to portray that Lewis left this team.
"At the end of the day you end up with a situation where you're going to separate if the circumstances aren't right.
"Life isn't about one person deciding anything. It's never that way. It's about circumstances.
"Everybody says 'Am I bitterly this or bitterly that?' What? I'm a realist.

Some reports have suggested that Dennis and Hamilton had a falling out over contract negotiations, but Dennis insists he holds no ill will towards Hamilton.
"Whatever people choose to do at the end of a contractual period, the professional thing to do is to be supportive of the other side," he added.
"We don't wish him every success at Mercedes - that's understandable, as he's obviously going to be a competitor - but we don't wish him anything negative."
