Im sure Brian said in his 1985 Motorsport interview that the night he heard Lole had retired finally from Williams he got in his car and drove through a snowstorm to try and convince Sir Frank to give him the drive eventually taken by DD. Would loved to have seen SuperHen in a truly good F1 car.
He might fared a little better than with Tyrrell though both were winning cars in 1982 IIRC.

DD's Williams was much less of a number 2 car and arguably more of a GP winner than Brians in my opinion.

I wish people wouldn't use initials indiscriminately - to find out what people are talking about I had to look up Derek Daly
Did Derek mind?

The difference being the Williams took a world title along with it's one win in 82.
Henton in an FW08 up against Rosberg...? What an intriguing prospect!
I wonder why Sir Frank chose Daly over Henton? I know Derek was very highly rated prior to reaching F1 but he hadn't really made the expected big-impression once he stepped up to the top level (one of life's mysteries in itself).
Clearly Brian would have crawled over broken glass for that Williams drive. If only...

I think Williams were a team revolving around Rosbergs car once Reutemann left. Daly never looked like he was going to do much in the second car. Jaques Laffites performances in the following two years I feel confirm my view. Not that this was a bad thing, a lot of the teams back then had a clear number 1 and number 2 driver.
