With recent speculation on the final seat at Williams being between Brazilians Rubens Barrichello or Bruno Senna, now that it's been published Adrian Sutil will be standing trial.
 
The deal has been done with Bruno Senna and he will officially drive for Williams in 2012, a slightly emotional signing seeing as Williams was the last team that his uncle Ayrton Senna drove for. This was a choice that has split many F1 fans, of course we're all very happy to see Bruno get a seat but at the same time gutted for Rubens who has had 19 seasons in Formula 1, is an all-round favourite and one of the most liked, respected and loveliest guys on the grid and off the grid. Most would love to see him have one final season or at the very least a true send off for a legendary career. 
We're sure this isn't the end of Rubens being involved in F1 as he said in a BBC interview last season "Formula 1 is my life" this will be an end of an era if he doesn't sign for the only other available seat at HRT.
  
I'm looking forward to seeing Bruno Senna back on track though, let's hope it's a move that will benefit Williams and put them back on the right road to being a successful Formula 1 team!

Now the question is, who will be the final signing at HRT?

Bruno Senna

From the retirement of Capirossi in MotoGP to a young brazilian starting up his Grand Prix career again. Bruno Senna is officially a Lotus Renault driver with now teammate Vitaly Petrov! Nick Heidfeld got replaced by Senna at Spa but after being able to settle things out of court he is now officially being replaced by Bruno Senna for the rest of the season. While this could mean the end of Nick Heidfelds F1 career, i can't help but be very happy Senna got the seat, he didn't get the chance to show his talent last year in the HRT so after his positive qualyfying in Spa let's hope he has a good run of races.

Hopefully his start will be better in Monza!

It's back!

Summer is over! Well for Formula 1, and anyone who lives in Britain seeing as the weather is typical rain, great preparation for the Belgium Grand Prix not so much for the rest of us!!

With the people who work in F1 bragging about the luxury cars they are driving to Spa or just the fact they can drive and don’t have to fly, a certain Brazilian has landed himself a race seat.

Bruno Senna who is (one of many) Renault’s reserve drivers is taking Nick Heidfeld seat in the car and will driving for the team at Spa.

Last year we saw him fight at the back of the grid driving for HRT in a car that quite frankly was pretty awful, we weren’t able to see the full potential of Senna’s skills around a track, however earlier this year we saw him in the R30 doing a demo at the WSR event… driving Eau Rouge… backwards… while filming on his I-phone. Now we won’t be seeing him going backwards or using DRS as a ban has been put in place for the corner but I do hope we see him battling near the front!

This race is special for another driver too, it’s Jerome D’Ambrosio first F1 race at his home Grand Prix, the race I’m sure he’s been waiting for since the start of the season. Being a Jerome fan myself, I’m hoping he has a brilliant weekend on and off the track, enjoying every minute of it, after all we haven’t seen a Belgium on the grid for over 15 years.

 Good luck to both Bruno and Jerome (and the rest of the drivers of course)

Spa is always an action packed race, with every driver racing out of their skin to do well at such a famous track, the excitement is helped by VERY unpredictable weather - here’s hoping it rains enough to make it tricky conditions but not too much it doesn’t ruin the fun of the race.

Lets get the second half of the season going with a brilliant race to start it off.

Bruno Senna own film footage taking on Eau Rouge.
