"After 2005 I thought if I made it into F1 then it would be a big surprise and at the end of 2006 I thought it was all over and so I said so at the time," said the four-time straight Champ Car champion.
"The only real chance I had before was in 2002 with Arrows but that disappeared," he added. "It's tough to have more than one chance because a new generation of drivers comes along and you're lucky if you get another go."
