As was anticipated, defending champions iSport International has confirmed that Bruno Senna will complete its driver line-up for the 2008 GP2 season.

The Brazilian will partner Karun Chandhok for both the new GP2 Asia season and the regular GP2 campaign as he chases double championship glory, having finished eighth in his debut season while competing for the Arden – picking up his maiden win at Barcelona early in the year.

"I am happy that everything has worked out,” he said. “iSport provides me with everything I need to fight for victories and for the championship.

“iSport's car is very good, as I always knew and I was able to set the pace straight away [in testing where he broke the GP2 lap record at Jerez. I immediately got along well with the mechanics and engineers and it is an advantage in my favour that not all drivers will compete in both championships."

Team boss Paul Jackson was quick to welcome Senna into his team and said he was confident he would be fighting near the front of the field.

"I see in Bruno one of those single minded personalities that has the determination to reach the top" he said. “His feedback to the engineers was detailed and accurate and it confirmed our opinion that Bruno is able to run consistently at the front. Having gone through a tough learning year, we feel Bruno is now ready to be a real Championship contender.

"The GP2 Asia Series will be a great benefit for Bruno and the team. Although there will be a new car for 2008, the mileage over the winter will keep Bruno sharp and will enable him and the team to build that all important human relationship that will see us through any hard times, as there surely will be on occasions.

"Although he has less mileage than some other drivers, he has clearly demonstrated his intelligence and maturity that will prove vital as he takes on this very demanding challenge. The whole team is looking forward to the coming season and can't wait to start racing.”
