Senna to replace Quick Nick at Lada-Lotus-Renault-Genii-Whatever?

[Dave B]

A few people reporting this possibility, including:

@willbuxton Fascinating rumour coming out that @BSenna will replace Heidfeld for rest of season. Pantano AND Senna back in race seats this weekend? ACE!

Interesting...

[F1boat]

I hope so. I am curious to see Bruno with a better car.

Could be good fun

Could be fun, and it would be nice to see Senna in a better car but it's completely unjustified to get rid of Heidfeld based on performance alone. He's been better than Petrov and I would wager my house on Senna not being any better than Nick has been.

Gerard Lopez's GenII Capital has merged with a Brazilian investment firm, so I guess the rumour makes a lot of sense. Senna isn't going to do any better than Heidfeld, but he'll certainly bring some more cash to the team, and maybe a few Brazilian sponsors.

Senna's not really had any opportunity to show his true pace. 'If' he gets the drive and can be near/equal to Petrov it could be interesting.

As for Nick...same old story, too inconsistent.

[Robinho]

i'd be happy to see the switch, i've got heidfield in my FGP but my reserve is Senna

[DexDexter]

Too bad for Heidfeld but he really didn't take the opportunity at Renault. He should have beaten Petrov in qualifying and the races but instead he's been up and down the whole year. Senna could bring new energy to the team, it's just that nobody really knows how good he is.

Pantano? Not heard that one.
Senna to replace Heidfeld on performance alone would be silly. Nick hasn't worked wonders but he has more points than Petrov who has steadily improved since his debut year. Bit sick of the Heidfeld bullying in the press and from the team actually...

As for Senna he was immediately outpaced by an out-of-practice Christian Klien last year in every race apart from his home race in Brazil if memory serves correct. I know Senna's the tester but if they were looking for more performance I'd have taken Klien.

Pantano will be back... but on Indycars AFAIK.

I think Bruno should enter in the simulator and practice hours and hours in it, mostly when in-season testing isn't allowed. I'm pretty angry with those who want to make fun with him and show him as another Badoer.
