Senna 'looking forward to good news'

Bruno Senna is confident that he will be able to find a place in Formula One next season. Nephew of late triple World Champion Ayrton, Bruno narrowly missed out on an opportunity with Brawn for 2009 but believes his chances of being on the grid are much higher with more placements available for next year.

Having been strongly linked with Honda before the Japanese marque pulled out of the sport last December, compatriot Rubens Barrichello was eventually selected by new team owner Ross Brawn to race alongside Britain's Jenson Button. However, with four new teams joining the fray for 2010, Senna's confidence is boosted.

Bruno tested for Honda in 2008

"Our latest talks proved even more exciting," the Brazilian GP2 runner-up of 2008, who has raced for the ORECA Le Mans Series team this year, was quoted as saying by ITV.

"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."
