  • Bruno Senna is not as well remembered as his uncle, Ayrton. Nevertheless, the Brazilian managed to race within Formula 1 from 2010 to 2012. Although, the story around this man's career is riddled in triumph and tragedy. And heading into his 20's, was never meant to be racing at all.

    The story of Bruno Senna is one of the biggest what-if stories in modern F1. After Ayrton’s death, he never set foot in a kart again til he was 20 and spent 10 years out of racing - which is way too long for a top-level athlete. He missed probably the most important development years of a drivers career. Even when he got to F1, he gave up 15 practice sessions to Valtteri Bottas which meant most of the time, he was playing catch-up to Maldonado. Combined with the fact that Pastor won a Grand Prix that year, Valtteri replaced him in 2013 and I felt he never really got a real chance to prove what he could really do. Great vid Josh

I am a fan of Kubica since 2007 (I even met him and talked to him, super chilled guy) but after Schumacher every Ferrari driver wasn't that much big of a deal in terms of championship (except Alonso). I hate to say it but Ferrari would make his career go down a lot with 2 times WDC in the first seat. But what if he had offer from Mercedes? That's the biggest what if for me.

      Nico was rather unlucky in that he was too good to be a main team second driver but not good enough to be the Main Man, if that makes sense. Most of the reasons he didn’t get podiums are down to his own bottling it, yes. However, he was the favourite for the Ferrari seat in 2013 and Alonso apparently said no. The same for 2014, but less so, as Kimi was a bigger name and the car was a dog anyway. His big story was Mercedes but Lewis was the preferred choice and he’d probably not have beaten Rosberg to a title and would have been dumped from the team when bigger drivers wanted the seat as they became dominant… but he’d have got solid results while he was there. As it was, he was just at the head of the midfield and that’s it.

    Funny story here from Brazil: I lived my whole life surrounded by Senna’s references. Even my father gave me the name Leonardo because of Ayrton’s brother (long story). Anyway, once I was skating in an Avenue in Sao Paulo called Sumare, and I passed by someone who as casually jogging at the same lane. I saw that it was familiar, but then I looked back just to be sure who it was, it was Bruno! I called my father a few moments later and said “dad, I just overtook Senna!”. After a while, I saw him again, happily jogging. People who met him around here always say that he is nice and very gentle.
    It may not seem too much, but many brazilians have Senna deep in their hearts, and I supported Bruno throughout his carrer in F1. It is a good memory for me and I hope he took this as a friendly joke.

    Thanks for the video, man. As a brazilian that woke up early on Sundays to watch Ayrton win races and talk about how Bruno could succeed following his steps, this was a very interesting take on what could've happened to Bruno's career. And I gotta say: the ending brought some tears to my eyes. Thank you and may Lord Mahaveer always bring his blessings upon you.

    I can guarantee that not having the experience in karting as a kid seriously hindered his skill. It's honestly amazing that he made it to F1 regardless and actually goes to show that Ayrton was right and Bruno has a huge natural talent. It's a shame he didn't get the Brawn seat because we all know who bought that team after and who knows, would Senna have been an early Mercedes driver?

    Whenever I hear the name Ayrton Senna even though I was only 4 years old during the race at Imola '94, watching F1 and its historical races, and reading about so many champions and seeing their battles, I feel a personal unique admiration to Ayrton and sometimes I woke up on May 1st praying to god to somehow alter the reality of the May 1st 1994 just to see him race in the V10 era... Hearing the name Ayrton Senna brings a tear to my eye and a cloud over my head because watching those videos about him and his commitment to succeed by taking it upon himself, other driver's sorrows, is in my opinion the most humble character of his life... I know he is racing above in the heavens on a more even terms with the best names in motorsports history... I know he'll be out-qualifying them every single time and that's how I keep him in my memory... 😍😍😍😍

    I briefly met Bruno as a 13 year old at Donington in 2005 in the middle of an F3 race. I went to the toilet and was walking back to where my mum was and in the opposite direction walking my way was Bruno Senna! I asked him what happened, not expecting anything more than a grunt and a shrug of the shoulders... but instead he smiled and said "ahh I crashed". I responded by saying something like "ohh well, better luck next time" and he laughed and said "thanks man" (or something to that effect). Not the most exciting interaction, but that's the point. He just binned it in his second F3 race and was curtious enough to humour some spotty little oik and treat me as a normal guy. He was just so down to earth and you wouldn't think he was the nephew of Ayrton and had the burden of that second name... A real credit to the sport!

    The thing that hurts the most is how much Senna was the F1 God in Brazil - he was a national hero, popularizing a sport that is usually only present/popular in high socio-economic countries in a low socio-economic country with a huge dichotomy of wealth extremely evident.
    F1 in Brazil died with Senna and we have never had any such popularity rival that of football/soccer since then. He was also extremely helpful socially and economically towards the Brazilian population, and his work ethic and success was a massive inspiration to all.
    Unfortunately, Brazil misses this kind of quiet, legendary work-ethic and successful individual in sports as we have very expressive, bohemian, successful figures
