Senna happy with debut

Bruno Senna is happy to have finished his first GP2 Series race well within the points and is enjoying the learning curve as well. The Brazilian has not discounted getting onto the podium as he starts from the same position for tomorrow's race as he did today in fifth having finished fourth.

"I'm pretty pleased," the Arden driver said.

"The ART's were quite far behind, and Adrian did a good job, so I'm pretty pleased with it all. Our race pace was quite competitive - still a little bit here and a little bit there, but in general it was okay. It was the first time I drove the car with 90 kilos of fuel in so I struggled in the first few laps with that - I didn't know how the car would behave, and it behaved a bit differently from how I was expecting, so I made a few mistakes which almost allowed Lucas [di Grassi] to overtake, but he didn't have too much of an advantage over me because he was a bit too worried about me knocking into him or something.

"After that I got a pretty consistent run and he couldn't catch up to me a lot, and after the pitstop I got a bit of an imbalance in the brakes because we didn't change all of the tyres, and that was a bit scary because sometimes I would brake a bit hard and the car would move, but it's been a very good learning experience. I thought I would be a bit more tired - I got tired because of the heat, but not in my muscles. It's been a good result, and I'm happy for the team as well because it's been a good result for them as well, so for my first race here it's been fantastic."
