"For 1985 Lotus made me an offer, and I really wanted to go. Ken had given me my chance, but he hadn’t got a turbo engine, or a sponsor – the car just had Tyrrell written down the side. Ken had an option on me which he had to exercise by November 30, and he wouldn’t let me know what he wanted to do."
Interesting.....so Lotus made an offer to Brundle earlier than to Senna? Or they wanted Brundle to replace De Angelis and go with a Senna-Brundle duo?
