🇮🇹 "Seguivo da molto tempo Elio e sono rimasto impressionato nel vederlo impegnato a cavarsela egregiamente con una macchina come quella che guidava l’anno scorso, Già avevo annotato il suo nome sul mio taccuino vedendolo correre in Formula 3 sia a Silverstone che a Montecarlo. A Silverstone mi aveva impressionato il suo modo di rimontare e a Montecarlo la sua determinazione nel voler vincere ad ogni costo.
Ritengo queste due doti molto importanti per un pilota che vuole guidare la mia macchina, il resto me lo ha dimostrato nel programma di prove al “Paul Ricard”. Una volta assodato che Elio era il pilota giusto per la mia scuderia, non ho esitato a tentare tutti i mezzi per portarlo alla Lotus. " - Colin Chapman (1980)

🇬🇧 "I had been following Elio for a long time and I was impressed to see him doing so well with a car like the one he drove last year. I had already written his name down in my notebook when I saw him racing in Formula 3 at both Silverstone and Monte Carlo. At Silverstone I was impressed by his way of recovering and at Monte Carlo by his determination to win at all costs.
I think these two qualities are very important for a driver who wants to drive my car, he showed me the rest in the test program at “Paul Ricard”. Once I had established that Elio was the right driver for my team, I did not hesitate to try all means to bring him to Lotus." - Colin Chapman (1980)
