A sponsor of Senna announces him at Williams

Bruno Senna could continue the F1 adventure in 2012. After starting with HRT in 2010, he had to settle for a third-driver role within the Lotus Renault Grand Prix team at the beginning of 2011. But with the help of several personal sponsors and following Heidfeld’s mixed start to the season, Ayrton’s nephew managed to secure a main driver seat from Spa onward.

For 2012, Senna is still waiting, but according to one of his sponsors, he should be confirmed with the Williams team alongside Maldonado. With Senna’s arrival, the company OGX had appeared on the LRGP cars. This oil company is owned by the holding company EBX, which is led by Eike Batista, the richest man in Brazil according to Forbes.

Senna confided last week on his Facebook page that his future was still uncertain and he was waiting for answers: «Despite a few rumors, my situation is the same as before. I haven’t been confirmed on any team and I am still in the running for a place in F1.»

Eike Batista has confirmed that the Brazilian was on track to drive for Williams and thus reform the famous Williams-Renault-Senna trio: “(Bruno Senna) will race for Williams (in 2012),” said Batista, as quoted by the Brazilian newspaper O Estado de S.Paulo.
