Formula 1 » Senna in 'serious' F1 talks – but nothing decided.

Saturday, 6th September 2008

GP2 Series title protagonist Bruno Senna remains adamant that no deal has yet been done with either Scuderia Toro Rosso or anyone else for him to graduate to F1 in 2009 - but he admits that 'serious' talks are ongoing.

Comment on this Story
Bruno Senna has again sought to play down suggestions that he will definitely be in Formula 1 next year, by acknowledging that he and his management are ‘holding serious talks with different people from different teams' – but insisting that ‘nothing is decided yet'.

The Brazilian – nephew of the late, great three-time F1 World Champion Ayrton – is battling former Jordan Grand Prix ace Giorgio Pantano for the GP2 Series title laurels this year, and his name has for months been linked with a future berth in the top flight with Scuderia Toro Rosso, whose co-owner Gerhard Berger was a close friend of Senna's uncle and his team-mate at McLaren-Honda from 1990 to 1992.

The 24-year-old has, however, curiously not been included in a test for STR later this month involving Super Aguri F1 refugee Takuma Sato and fellow GP2 Series front-runner Sébastien Buemi, who Senna has out-scored 58 points to 37 so far this season.

It is equally said, though, that BMW-Sauber and Williams may also be interested in securing the iSport International star's services – though in a testing and reserve capacity rather than a racing role, something he has made clear would not be his primary option as he eyes the long-term rather than the short.

“I have of course been listening recently to all the whispering,” Senna wrote in his latest column for German website Motorsport Magazin, “according to which I've supposedly already signed up for Formula 1 next year with Toro Rosso, or as test driver for BMW-Sauber.

“All I can say to that at the moment is there's no truth in it; none of these rumours has any basis in fact, and up to now nothing has been signed, sealed and delivered. We are currently holding serious talks with different people from different teams, but nothing is decided yet.
