Good point - yeah I would have thought an exisiting team might have taken a punt on him he will surely bring sponsorship from Brazil and also the Kudos of that name would have been worth alot - wonder if the 'Nacional' brand that sponsored Ayrton will come back

looks like he is going to have to pay his dues at the back before that top ride comes,i guess the big boys did buy the senna last name thing

he's only doing what his uncle did, drive for a back of the grid team to learn the ropes etc ..

can't help thinking he would have been better off at another team though, Lotus or Manor would have been a better bet or even Renault but at the end of the day he's still an F1 rookie, big surname or not.

hope he does well, he has had flashes of brilliance but he's got an awful lot to live up to though.

Like his Uncle? who are you trying to kid? This is all he could get! If Ferrari or McLaren wanted him tomorrow he would have sugned up in a heart beat!

I think bruno will fall flat on his face, why, simply because there is too much pressure. Hamilton's and even Koybayshi's  preformances as they first entered into F1 were mind blowing as there wasnt any pressure.

Senna is entering F1 with pressure, with one of the best drivers to be instantly compared to, still yet to be rated or respected though he has been banging it about in GP2 for some time, I hope he does well, but I dont think he will, just because of the level of pressure on his shoulders.

If he can handle the pressure, yes, but if not NO, and by some of his interviews he seems like a time bomb waiting to explode from frustration. Not only that, it must hurt that Hamilton is more compared to his uncle, than himself...now that must hurt, even came from his own mother's mouth LOLOLOLOL

i hope people consider that before they rip him a new limb.  i think he'll do OK - he might be up with the likes of glock, but it's doubtful that he'll be higher than that

however; considering how little racing he's done in his life, his results have been very impressive

Amazing, he has done and won very little in his time in motor racing for a 26 year old, I just presumed "something I hate doing" Bruno has been banging it about in lower league series for much longer than what I expected. 

A Season in F3 and entered into 3 GP2 series, wow is he really ready for F1? He has only won 8 races all together I think, hope I am wrong?

26 years old?,i did not know he was that old,thats pretty old for a rookie nowadays,

wow he is old for a f1 rookie these days,seems like his stock dropped pretty fast,i think a driver of his uncles talent would have been snapped up by one of the better teams a lot sooner the way f1 is these days,was'nt like they did not know he was out there with that last name ,taking this long to get to f1 with that last name is not saying a lot about him,heck piquet was good enough to get with renault at a young age,did'nt get it done as we all know,will be interesting to see what he can do

it's actually pretty remarkable considering he only started racing at 20 years old - when ayrton was killed he had won a couple of karting championships, but then his father was killed in a motorbike race the following year his and family forbade him from racing

So literally he is living of his uncle's name, for his own sake I wish he does well in F1, but if he wasnt Senna's nephew I would have to say he is hasnt got any standards for F1, and the only standards he has got for F1 is the fact he is indeed Arton Senna's nephew and has that bloodline pedigree.

actually, i'd like to argue the opposite - the fact that he has been able to do what he has with no youth experience shows what raw talent he actually has (don't forget he was a shoe-in for brawn for they opted for barrichello's experience)

he's done more in a few short years than most of the current grip have done in their entire careers - his main drawback being he probably hasn't had the opportunity to "rough out the edges" of his driving style

his 2nd in the 2008 GP2 championship and 3rd overall in British F3 with a good number of race wins under his belt puts his career to date on par with the likes of Button, Vettel, Webber and Glock.  I just don't understand why you seem to be out to knock him down, before he has even stepped in the car?

No one here is saying he is going to be anything like Ayrton, so don't hold that against him - it's possible that he could have got there without the name; who knows?
