Probably because they want to be at the back of the grid again. Give me a break BrawnFryOnda or whatever they will call themselves. At least gives us a driver that we can see promise in and have hope for. If it is not Senna than bring another young driver up. 18th on the grid will still be 18th on the grid old man or young man.

they are not in a position to "teach" someone how to drive an F1 car, they need experienced feedback and as much as I do not like Rubinho, he's a good choice this time around.

Bruno Senna is not proven sensational anywhere either..

Senna's management are now lobbying a McLaren drive for 2010. He's already half way into the McLaren fold as he's driving the Mercedes in DTM this year. If Heikki is as dismal as he was last year, we'll have a Senna/Hamilton pairing for 2010.

I have to admit, from my point of view keeping both JB and RB is indeed easy, but I honestly don't think it is the best move. The new team with new a new car, new technologies, new engines and probably money issues, might as well take one more risk and get a different driver. As far as I'm concerned JB is over hyped, and RB belongs in a rocking chair out on somebody's front porch.

HOWEVER- I'm thrilled we have these 2-more cars added to the field!

thats a very exciting idea!! just imagine Senna giving hard times to the former champion hamiltion and beating him for a title, just like the great challanges between prost and ayrton Senna.

im sure that bruno is up to the challange. is hamilton?
