Let's see... Kimi is under contract to McLaren and therefore will not test in a Ferrari until he's released says Dennis. Then you have them pleading after they poached Alonso from Renault with this...:

McLaren have asked Renault to release double Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso from his contract early so that he can test for them in Spain next week.

McLaren chief executive Martin Whitmarsh told reporters at the team's Woking headquarters on Wednesday that he was still hoping the 25-year-old Spaniard could make his McLaren debut this year.

"Being frank about it, we'd like him in the car as quickly as we can," he said.

"After this week there's one more test and we'd like Renault to recognise everything that he's done for them and release him to come and test for us next week.

And since McLaren wrote the letter to the FIA to ban the mass damper system Renault had been using since the end of the 2005 season... good luck.
