Quoted from a BBC article...

Equally, Bruno, who started racing karts at home in Sao Paulo, Brazil, when he was six years old, did not race for a decade after Ayrton was killed when he was 10 because his family withdrew their support for his hobby.

So yeah he started at 20!

 

wow, thats amazing! i knew he stopped for a while but i didnt know it was a whole decade.. i have faith in him too. Ayrton was soo great, a true legend.. and bruno has the genes.. he looks like ayrton, i cant wait to see him in F1 perform like ayrton!

i think its a great option for him to join Honda rather than toro rosso. RB can develop and fine tune his talent, then lead him for his F1 sucsess, look at MS and RB and what they achived together. im daydreaming, but i have faith in the Power of Dreams!

 

On a side note, Hamilton was quoted today as being better than Senna Sr.

The man can't keep his mouth shut.

 

please post a link to the article. I definitely find this hard to believe. Considering it's know senna was his idle/hero/etc...

I know he says some dumb shit and can;t take blame. But i bet my money the media twisted this. If Autosport reports on this then it must be true; Italian press, british press, swiss, spanish are all bias/stupid and always make rumors.

 

good find stephenopoly! I knew i read that he restarted racing at 20. Shows that he is doing well with less experience compared to the other GP2 competitors. Brazil needs another World Champion!! haha

 

Thanks! 10 years of not racing didn't do too much damage to his skill but imagine what he could have been if he kept on racing....

 

Ayrton said that his little nephew was better than him at that age. While its hard to say if a 10 yo will go on to greatness....if anyone could recognize true potential it would be Ayrton.

 

"If you think I am good wait until my nephew arrives."
