I struggle to believe Ayrton would have put a good word in for Tommy anywhere after Tommy had wound him up and played so many tricks on him during their time together at Van Diemen.
There was even talk afterwards that during the McLaren test the throttle pedal had been adjusted to not allow 100%, although I don't believe this for a second.
For all his faults, on talent alone, I would rather have seen him in a McLaren rather than Watson for 83.
