Ayrton In A Brabham

[fatboy69]

Just bought the latest issue of F1 Racing magazine & skimmed through to the article regarding Senna's test drive in a BT52B at Paul Ricard wa back in 1983.

Just a thought - I wonder how successful Ayrton would have been in a Brabham had Mr fkwit, sorry Piquet (I dislike him intensely) not vetoed the idea.

I haven't read the article in full however it seems as though he was on the pace right from the start & left a lasting impression.

Another one of those 'if only' moments from the depths of F1 history.

Was it Murray Walker who said F1 is "if", spelled backwards?

I expect Prost would have avoided a lot of agro, as the situation would have gone nuclear earlier! Except as the other half would ahve been Piquet it would probably have been worse.

A battle for the hearts and minds of Brazil!

I would be surprised if he did any more there than he did at Lotus. The 1983 championship - maybe - in his maiden season, but more likely he would have been taking points away from Piquet and Prost would have been champion instead. Speaking of which, I wonder what Warwick would have done in a Lotus had Senna not vetoed the idea?

I reckon that Derek Warwick would have been a GP winner had Senna not said no to him as a team-mate. He obviously saw DW as a major threat hence his veto.

Another 'what if' isn't it?
