I'm pretty happy about this, Heidfeld is a waste of time he's never going to do anything big or new. Senna is an unknown quantity it's not like driving a Hispania can be a judge of skill. I can't remember how he did relative to his teammates though, anyone care to fill me in?
 
Officially Confirmed for Spa. No word on the rest of the season. http://www.lotusrenaultgp.com/6308-Bruno-Senna-to-race-for-Lotus.html

Well clearly Heidfeld just wasn't leading the team like they expected and he was only ever a stand in so they opted to try out some drivers for the future. Expect to see Grosjean in that seat this year as well.

Beat Chandhok and Ide/Yamamoto (can't remember which one) and destroyed by Christian Klien at one race <ok>
 
yar only Klein beat Senna, and Hispania said that the cars were considerably different, 4 secs a lap was quoted somewhere, but against team-mates in equal cars he generally out-qualified tham and out-raced them. He suffers because of his name, I thought Hill was a waste of space too, who would never have got near an F1 car without his Dads name. His performances at Arrows proved me wrong, so I have a little bit more time for Senna. but for a change of mind from Barricello he would've debuted in the Brawn, instead of driving a WCC winning car he ended up a season later in a 4 wheeled wooden spoon. I think he deserves his chance, but personally I would've dropped Petrov, he's cack, not as good as heidfeld who, as someone mentioned, has had all the bad luck, yet still leads Petrov, who is only 5 points ahead of Kamui, who has pretty much the same amount of experience and is in a far worse car.

1000 post quiz will follow in a week or 2
 
Reckon this is a trial for next year more than anything else. Renault have been disappointing all round, I thought they could inherit the BMW role but they haven't even managed that - shows how badly they miss Kubica.

Never been convinced by Senna - I doubt I will be proven wrong but there's a first time for everything
 
We have some comments from Bruno now at the press confrence. He is only sure of the seat for two races.
Bruno Senna said:
"Right now I am confirmed to do this race and the next race, but there are some legal issues to be resolved .I cannot confirm if I am doing rest of the year or not. The intention is I am going to do it, but it still cannot be confirmed."
