Senna to test with iSport

Bruno Senna has revealed that he has been invited by the iSport team to test at Jerez. The Brazilian, who raced in the Le Mans Series for 2009, missed this GP2 season following a failed attempt to graduate into Formula One but is looking forward to next week's run in Spain.

Having hoped to partner Jenson Button at Brawn GP this year, Team Principal Ross Brawn's choice to run Rubens Barrichello left Senna somewhat in the dark. However, the nephew of late triple World Champion Ayrton is savouring the development test as he assists his former team.

"iSport will sign new drivers for 2010 and I will help them by providing a benchmark whilst working on the setup and performance of the car," Bruno explained. "I got a call from team owner Paul Jackson and could not resist giving them a helping hand as we built a very good relationship during our days together.

"For me, it is also a good opportunity to drive a single-seater again, as this year I have been mainly driving endurance prototypes in the Le Mans Series. I don't think it will take many laps at all to get back to where I was a year ago with this car. It is a very familiar working environment for me and I am looking forward to trying to push the performance development of the car even further with the team who I had so much success with a year ago."

Senna added a brief word for his F1 chances:

"Our latest talks proved even more exciting. Everything keeps going well and the pace of negotiations has increased in the last few weeks. I'm looking forward to having good news in the coming days."
