Senna is a good prospect, but not up to standard at the moment. Sadly, it looks as though money will talk.

If Buemi can get a Toro Rosso into the top 10 imagine what Senna could do with the FW31.

Ross Brawn was very impressed with him in the November test and he got to grips with one of the worst cars of 2008 quite quickly. He was something like 1.5 seconds quicker than Di Grassi.

I still believe every word of what Ayrton said about Bruno, "If you think I'm good wait until you see Bruno."


Yeah, but I remember him being around three seconds slower than Alex Wurz, of all drivers. Not exactly good for your reputation :P

Well, it's testing for you, I think Wurz was running 2009 bits if I remember rightly. Senna's time did come within 0.3 of Button though like Longbow said.

Longbow - I really think he could have easily beaten Pantano if dogs, dodgy FIA stewards and messy pit-work didn't intervene. His wins at Monaco and Silverstone in the wet last year were classy performances.


Having said that, if Di Grassi hadn't missed the first three events (six races) he would have blown both Pantano and Senna away. The very fact that, despite having a six-race defecit, he finished only one point behind Senna is pretty impressive.

And did Senna and Di Grassi not test the 2009 parts?


Thats very true about Gp2

But.. Di Grassi had been in Gp2 for a year longer than senna. Also Senna has been in racing for 4 years ish compared to di grassi's 7 years

to be honest tho get rid of piquet for Di Grassi and Nakajima for Senna and lets see some decent drivers given a chance.

Even still, six races is a lot, when you think about it. Schumacher missed six races in 1999 and that ended any title hopes that year. Even if he had won the last two races and Hakkinen had retired from both, he would not have been able to win the championship.

Look this is how things will work out next year.

Williams - If there's a free seat, Hulkenburg will be straight in
Renault - Grosjean will get that seat next. It just depends will he get it before the end of the year.

Senna - He'll take a seat in F1 and nothing less. But where, the best offer really. Brawn, US GP, BMW who knowes
Di Grassi - He hasn't got a contract with Renault, so that option is gone. But he's back in GP2. He to will take the first seat he can get.
Maldanado - He's up there and has a seat with ART this year in GP2. He was flying in the last few races last year, so certainly a good year in GP2 could result in a seat.
Di Reista - Beat Vettel in F3, nearly won DTM in a single year. He deserves a seat, but he's need to about it the right way and push for a seat.

The rumour goes we've got 3 new teams next year and 6 new race seats. So certianly it's all up in the air for those 4.

Id love to see Senna in F1. Yes he'd make some mistakes along the way but he's fast and talented and exciting to watch. He was very unlucky not to win GP2. I think he's definately one for the future and id take the gamble on him. He seems a nice guy too.

I met him last year when he renamed a corner at Pembrey. he seemed nice enough.


Hey lucky you! He always impreses me when he's interviewed.
#110479
He's 25? :eek: , There's still hope for my small time racing career :clap::cloud9:



Yes...he was 10 years stopped(due to his uncle's death)...so he got on in years without gain experience..=/
