Bruno Senna has had a turbulant few years in F1, from narrowly missing out on a chance to drive for Honda (later Brawn GP) in 2009 and a debut season with the tail-end HRT team it looked like Senna’s F1 career could be short lived until the Lotus Renault GP team took him on as a reserve driver for 2011 and later brought him in mid-season to replace Nick Heidfeld.

RACER have an excellent piece online looking at how despite little experience racing in karting he rapidly progressed from a car racing debut in Formula BMW in 2004 to the top flight today, and why he deserves his place there on merit and not just because of his famous uncle.

We’re also extremely interested in how you feel the young Brazilian has done over the last 5 races, if he deserves his place in the top flight of motorsport, and what you believe 2012 holds in store for him, so be sure to have your say in our forums…
