Stefan Dennis is still trying to get his team into F1 this year after announcing that he’s acquired tech support from Toyota

The neighbours star has still been sketchy as to why he’s so keen on entering F1. But rumours are flying around the paddock that he is possibly a long lost twin brother of Ron Dennis, and he’s trying to reconnect.
