For many years I’m a fan of Bruno’s uncle Ayrton Senna da Silva. Never the less Bruno shows he has also a great talent for racing cars. He is not only quick in Formula cars but also in GT cars as he showed in 2007 during the Ferrari days at Silverstone. Bruno took pole position and won both races in the Ferrari 430 Challenge from the GB Dealer Team.

One year later I saw Bruno again on the same track but now in GP2. Bruno who is one of drivers with changes for the 2008 GP2 title was on pole position for race1.

On Saturday morning I finaly had the change to meet Bruno and his sister Bianca in person. After all those years being a Senna fan it was a great moment, even that it was very short. Ofcourse I didn’t want to bother Bruno just before the race. On this level professional drivers have to focus on the race.

During race 1 Bruno made a slide mistake and went wide in the early stages of the race. He finshed 6th.

Anyway… as the name SENNA still stands for rain king. Bruno was simply by far the best during a rainy race 2 won and still has big changes to win the 2008 GP2 championship. Uncle Ayrton can be proud on his nephew.
