About the Brundle to Lotus offer, I would hazard a guess they would have him alongside Senna. After all Lotus did sign Senna for 84, but JPS blocked it, as it would have meant dropping Mansell and they insisted having a Brit in the team. So having got Senna onboard for 85, I would say Lotus tried to get the Brit Brundle to keep JPS happy. And of course for 86 they signed a Brit, Warwick, with help from Renault, only for Senna to veto it and so they bought Dumfries another Brit. And then it was all change for 87, with Camel being the title sponsor and Honda insisting they had a Japanese driver in Nakajima
