Bruno Senna (nephew of you know who)

Damn I didn't know this guy existed! (until he crashed his GP2 car into a dog and killed it over the weekend haha)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Senna

Pretty cool stuff.

With his uncle's former position in McLaren it would be pretty tight to see this guy drive along side Lewis Hamilton

I've been following him for a while. If he does well in GP2 this year, he'll be in F1 next year I would think. He just had a great race in Spain last week, but an awful one in Turkey this past weekend.

He's not his uncle though, that crazy fight isn't there. But he's good though, especially for not karting much since Ayrton died, and just jumping into cars, doing really well.

Aryton once said: "If you think I'm good, just want 'til you see my nephew!"

Well, we are now getting to see what Bruno can do.

I'm not sure if having the Senna name is a blessing or a curse. Whilst you are automatically high profile you are also always compared to your namesake, and let's face it, very few drivers will ever compare to Senna.

Piquet and Rosberg are constantly being compared to their fathers.

Sr is a moron. He's just Jealous that he's the Brazillian everyone forgets about.

Senna, Fittipaldi, Massa, Rubens, and the many others who are in american racing are a millions of times more popular that him. **** piquet.

What does F1 have to do with american racing?

No US GP, No US drivers, No US teams.

Piquet Jr. needs to step up his game, especially since last year he took every opportunity to say how he was much more deserving than Hekki for the second seat at Renault.

Agreed, being knocked out of qualifying in the first session didn't look good when Alonso qualified 10 places higher in the same car.

Flavio is only patient upto a point, ask Jenson Button who could have been driving Alonso's championship winning Renault if he hadn't pissed off Flav 2 years earlier.

so what's your point? Button would be on podium more often? He's not as good as many make him out to be.

Sorry man, but his 1 win is a fluke...

Senna was flying untilthe time he hit that dog. It was too bad. I would hate to have to clean that racecar.

Bruno has been setting a lot of fast laps, but we haven't really seen him pull off any amazing passes (at least, not that I can remember in GP2 this season or last).

He is really fast, but I haven't really seen him race yet.

Winning an F1 title is about being in the right car at the right time...If Button hadn't have pissed off Flav with his attitude he may have been alongside Alonso in the 2005 & 2006 Renault instead of Fisi.

I agree Button's win was a fluke...it took half the field to retire before he popped his cherry.

I dunno, he may have won some races, but I don't think he would've won any world titles... look at how Giancarlo did.
