Re: Brunno Senna Will Race For Honda F1 2009!

I think what's Ayrton senna left for him is the Name and help him easy to get sponsorship for his career in the long run . '

Don't looks at result his pass up for honda team , look at the "gap" that he able close between "BUTTON" (he just a freshman on F1/with only 4 years of experience ) Many GP2 racer not even enter top10 for the 1st time...

If his driving data Can help the team to "tweak" the car, they result (without a doubt) will reach top5 .....

ps: FIA will approve "Slick" tyre on 2009 , gonna be very interesting . don't you think.. ?

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- Mexican native Carlos Slim, the second richest man in the world, on Saturday purchased the Honda Formula 1 team.

After the deal went through, the Honda team announced that they will be betting on the Brazilian driver Bruno Senna to replace his compatriot Rubens Barichello. Bruno is the nephew of the deceased idol and former F1 champion racing Ayrton Senna.

Bruno will be debuting in the F1 racing world in 2009 after he has been working his way up through the lower leagues of racing.

The Honda team was symbolically bought by Slim for the price of one U.S. dollar.

Slim will have the task of assuming responsibility of the debts and costs of the team in order to keep the team afloat and in contention for winning the competition in 2009.

Honda is hoping the Senna name will have a big impact not only on the sport, but in their efforts to win. Fifteen years have past since his uncle Aryton passed away in an accident during an F1 race. The name has a huge weight in the sport and still stirs up emotions throughout Brazil and the world.

Now, Bruno will have to bear the burden of living up to his uncle's greatness.

Bruno Senna linked to new-look Honda
The nephew of an F1 legend is in line for his debut
Richard Rae

BRUNO SENNA has signed a contract to race alongside Jenson Button for the former Honda team this season, sources in Brazil have claimed. Senna is said to have signed up after receiving assurances that the Brackley-based team, which was put up for sale by the Japanese car manufacturer, now has funding in place to complete the season. Senna, the nephew of former world champion Ayrton Senna, also brings considerable financial backing of his own, mainly through his links to Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company, and a long-standing relationship with the telecommunications firm Embratel, but also from other South American sponsors.
