Valtteri Bottas......

What do you think of Senna now?

[SchumiSutil]

Nothing more, really.
We know from GP2 that he is a decent driver on the wet, able to do some good performances.
And today he have done an OK race, just confirming to me that the Williams is really good this year. Much better than the Force India and Torro Rosso.
But if you think that Maldonado was able to be ahead of Kimi before the red flag, and that he dropped to the back after the restart (he miss is pit !!), you shouldn't be too impressed by Senna.

Just look at the pace of Maldonado on slicks towards the end of the race when he had clean air (lap 41/42/43) :

Exactly, you can't judge a driver from one race.

[SchumiSutil]

Do you think he will have a chance this year ? He seems to do a fairly good job on Fridays. I'm keen to see on a race seat, especially with the Williams being a good car this year.

If they are prepared to put him in Senna's seat, they must see something very special in him that we can't see in his results. I don't understand why a driver would be elevated from GP3 straight to F1 - I don't think the fast tracking worked with Alguersuari, but then again Alguersuari is younger than Bottas. I am suprised that he isn't competing in any other racing series this year, they really must be eager to promote him. Still can't see why though

He is driving for 15 sessions this year and doing simulation work, i don't think with that many f1 sessions he would have any chance to drive other series. It was pretty tight with him and Calado last year and Calado seems really fast in GP2 this year.
