Senna in contact with Williams
This announcement has a déjà vu feeling. Senna is in contact with Williams for a regular seat... but the scene takes place in 2012, and it's about Bruno Senna. The rumor is, in any case, confirmed by the Brazilian himself.
Fired from Lotus-Renault after replacing an underperforming Nick Heidfeld, the Brazilian driver was overlooked in favor of a Räikkönen/Grosjean duo for the 2012 season.
However, Bruno is looking for a full-time seat, and we know that there are only two opportunities left. One with HRT, which seems unlikely for him after a disappointing stint with the Spanish team in 2010, and another, more credible one with Williams.
The nephew of Ayrton Senna is trying to secure a place on the grid for next year: «Of course, I’m working hard to find the best possible solution, but so far, nothing is certain. We are in contact with Williams but also with other teams for 2012. »
But the competition is fierce to secure a seat at Williams, Bruno is aware of this and might lower his ambitions for next year and return to being a reserve driver as he started the 2011 season with Lotus-Renault: « I’m sure there will be opportunities in that direction. If I can’t secure a main seat, I would consider this option. But I hope that won’t be the case and that I can be behind the wheel of a decent car. »
