Senna to get first Formula One test with Honda[buat yang waktu itu nanyain
tentang si ponakan Ayrton Senna, neh ada beritanya.. ternyata doi kemaren maen
di GP2]
GP2 star Bruno Senna will sample a Formula One car for the first time
later this month when he tests for Honda in Barcelona. Honda will
assess the Brazilian during their first winter test at the Circuit de
Catalunya on November 17-19.
Sennas tasks will include an
initial familiarisation with Hondas current RA108 car and its systems
before progressing to a full programme during which the team will be
evaluating his performance, technical skill and ability to work with a
large team organisation.
"I am obviously very excited about
being given my first Formula One test and to have that opportunity with
Honda is a dream come true, said Bruno, whose late uncle, Ayrton,
worked closely with the Japanese company during his F1 career.
Although
I am still only in my fourth year of motor racing, I have wanted to
test an F1 car for a very long time and I feel that I am ready for that
challenge. I have already spent some time at the factory in Brackley
and have enjoyed meeting the team and working with the engineers to
prepare for this test. I hope to show the team what I can do, so it's
up to me now to do a good job."
Senna, 25, has impressed in the
British F3 Championship and GP2 since his first full season in junior
motorsport formulae in 2005. He won two GP2 races in 2008 and finished
second in the Series.
"We are delighted to provide Bruno with
the opportunity to test for us later this month as we continue to
explore all the driver options available to us for next season, said
Honda team principal Ross Brawn.
After an impressive year in
GP2 this will be a chance for Bruno to prove that he is ready to make
the step up to Formula One. Our objective is to have the best drivers
available to us next season and our evaluation of Bruno's performance
will be rigorous. We are looking forward to seeing how he performs.
Over
the next two weeks Bruno will be spending a lot of time with us at our
Brackley base, working closely with our engineers and on the simulator
to ensure he is fully prepared for this important test."
Hondas 2007 driver line-up comprised Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello.
Neither has yet been officially confirmed for 2008.
