Following on from a largely impressive maiden campaign in Formula 1's feeder series this year, Bruno Senna is looking ahead to 2008 with a good deal of well-founded optimism – the only question mark is, which team will he race with?
Driving for former champions Arden International, the Brazilian British F3 graduate notched up seven points finishes, three rostrums and a commanding debut victory in Barcelona en route to a strong eighth spot in the end-of-season drivers' standings in 2007 – performances that have, he admitted, attracted admiring glances the length of the pit-lane.
“I think with the results I've achieved some other teams are realising my potential,” the 24-year-old told
Crash.net Radio, on the back of starring testing outings for both title-winners iSport International and Campos Grand Prix at Jerez in Spain last month. “I have good negotiating terms with them, and both are teams I'm talking to.
“Obviously Campos is a Spanish team and we have a good connection with Santander, but we also have a good relationship with iSport and at the end of the day the sponsors have to see that my management and I understand better than they do what are the best steps to take. Campos are clearly very competitive and have a very strong technical team, so at the moment we are just seeking out what is the best move.
“We expect to have a decision fairly soon. My sister and manager Bianca is back in Brazil, negotiating at full steam ahead for next year and speaking to the sponsors, so I think it should all be decided within the next two to three weeks.”
