It's fantasy, I know that. Neither will happen. I just like to weight the options, as though I were standing in front of Solomon: a final roll in the hay or an ear of corn. What a wonderful dilemma. Sometimes I substitute an apple for the corn.”
“I saw Lotus F1 racing as the best choice for me to progress my career, after considering several other options that were available to me.”
