Senna to Toro Rosso ... not a done deal

By on

Although the rumour mill about a possible F1 seat for Bruno Senna, nephew of Ayrton, is at full speed, Toro Rosso's Gerhard Berger has played down the reports that the youngster will get a contract with the Faenza-based team for next season.

Berger, who was Ayrton Senna's team mate and close friend, declared that he is still not convinced by Bruno Senna, but that he's open to give the GP2 driver a test drive.

In the Dutch magazine 'Formule 1 RaceReport', Berger declared: "Bruno Senna is good enough for Formula One, but the same applies also to Romain Grosjean and Sebastien Buemi. So far, none of those three have totally convinced me. You could say that I don't yet see a new Vettel."

Although it's not yet certain that Senna will get the vacant seat of Sebastian Vettel, Berger is willing to give him a F1 test. "I'm willing to give him a test, but currently there are no concrete discussions about this."
