Senna salvages fifth
22 June 2008On the surface, fifth place from 23rd on the grid looks like a positive result for Bruno Senna in Sunday morning's GP2 Series sprint at Magny-Cours.
"I was slightly concerned when I first opted to start on slicks, because it didn't feel as though there was much grip," said Senna. "Things improved on my third reconnaissance lap, however, so I thought, 'We might be all right here'. I took things very gently at first and gained a few places as others made mistakes. It didn't take too long before dry tyres came into their own and after that I made rapid progress. It was difficult, but I'm usually very quick in tricky conditions and once the race settled down I was fairly confident that a podium finish was achievable."
"Unfortunately, the gear selector then began to play up and I also lost full throttle, he added. "Fifth is obviously a good result, because I started a long way back and overtaking is supposed to be impossible at Magny-Cours, but it is also frustrating because a podium result was within my grasp and it was taken away for reasons beyond my control."
