The Lotus appointment of Scotland s Johnny cause Senna dictated the terms Rega Ninf who would r ?.""1" now formula one Driver it a Lowring?0 influence in tc8m dec5sions when n but Senna played the key role by the hiring of no fc7 a jfte"0" of the Efemey popular British Driver Derek Var fuck who had been a Sid ered in for the no. 2 Driver Job at Lotus until Senna stood firm against him.

Warwick s Renault part Ner. Patrick Tam Bay of France was hired by the american Beatrice Ford team and Warwick mean while assumed he would drive for Lotus because Elio Vangelis had left the British team to join Brabham but it did t go that Way. Brazil s Senna regarded by Many As the most Brilliant Driver to come along since Scotland s Jackie Stewart wanted the Young brazilian formula 3 Champion Mauricio Gugelman to join him at Lotas that failing he would Settle for another Young Driver but he obviously did not want anything to do with an experienced Driver like Warwick who might vie with him for top status. The englishman Warwick mean while bad made h dear he would Settle for no. 2 Driver status but even that was not acceptable to Senna w so the hiring of Dumfries came As a Compro Mise. The son of a scottish Earl Dumfries was successful Driver in British formula 3 racing he was British f-3 Champion in 1984and he could do fairly Well this season although not much can be expected of a freshman Driver in formula one Competition.

Two tint rate driven Alain Prost and Keke Rosberg at Mclaren for example Fere obviously Superior to one top Driver paired with another who has no formula one experience.

Senna s plan May prove successful but we have a Hunch that before the season is Over hell wish that he had a Driver of Warwick s Caliper backing him up and taking critical championship Points away fro the likes of Prost Rosberg Nelson Piquet Michele Albreto and Stefan Johansson. At the London news conference announcing dump. Ries appointment Lotus team Boss Peter Warr made it Clear that Senna influenced the hiring Warr Stres sing that Senna said he would leave the team if we named Warwick. He wanted an up and coming Driver alongside him rather than an established grand Prii name. As a future world Champion we must provide Senna with the Best environment in which he can win the championship. We feel very sorry for Warwick but on the other hand he did turn us Down when we made him an offer two years Warwick will participate in sports car racing this year he raced in last weekend s Simsa 24 hours of Daytona and took third with the of Good Rich porsche 962 team and he May drive for the British Jaguar team on a regular basis in the sports prototype world championship.
