Gillette don't insist on beard-less men.

It's sort of sad that this sounds implausible to me at every team except McLaren.Couldn't help but notice that Jenson Button was clean-shaven throughout practice and qualifying this weekend. What do you think - co-incidental change of approach to personal grooming - or a foretaste of Gillette title sponsorship next season?

I think it's all about fasci... fashion.I remember Alonso cutting his hair, like Checho has, when he joined McLaren. It's pretty pathetic how corporate people they care about this things.

But McLaren announcing the deal on their website would indicate it is a bit more than that.

I think it was a huge middle finger in Ron's face.

And he stopped having dandruff. These people will do anything to keep sponsors happy.Jenson already had a personal sponsorship with Proctor & Gamble (Head and Shoulders).

Not to be pedantic, but hey, marketing matters.

Good spotting! That could def. be right!Last year, not many people noticed it, but Hamilton let his "beard" grow for months, a few weeks before he revealed he was leaving the team.

I'm fairly certain this was just a long-running joke at Ron's obsessiveness

I am not a McLaren (or any team) supporter and cannot speak for Ron Dennis. But I understand this tidy and sharp appearence thing. It might be that I am older than many. When I was a teen I had it drummed in to me (at home and at school) that any man who does not shave every day is a bum, that shoes snould be clean and trousers pressed crisply shiny.
Perhaps (perhaps? I am sure!) this discipline is no longer encouraged.
This part of my upbringing stays with me. Even today I really hate seeing men in un-pressed suits and scrappy shoes. And as for "designer stubble"........

Haha, it's got less to do with the specific image itself and more to do with the idea that it's controlled so tightly. I actually applaud those who maintain a well-kempt appearance--especially in today's society.I am not a McLaren (or any team) supporter and cannot speak for Ron Dennis.

I can see that. But when I worked and was responsible for keeping the show on the road I was a great believer in having things done my way - the way I thought they should be to further professional goals. After all " he who pays the piper".........
