With Bruno S⛦enna believed to be in-line for a test with Honda's Formula 1 team sometime following next month's season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, rumours linking countryman Rubens Barrichello to an IndyCar Series switch next year have re-surfaced.
The most experienced driver in the history of the top flight recently revealed his frustration at Honda's 'tiresome' silence regarding its line-up for 2009 [see separate story - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:click here], with the Brackley-based outfit rℱepeatedly delaying any announcement until - it is understood - Singapore and Japanese Grand Prix winner Fernando Alonso ꦜmakes up his mind as to where he wishes to drive next season.
Whilst Alonso is seen as little more than a long shot now to join forces with the under-performing Japanese concern - especially given current employer Renault's impressive resurgence of late - GP2 Series vice-champion Senna is reckoned to be a more realistic possibility, even if team principal Ross Brawn has previously stated his preference to see the𒅌 Brazilian in a testing rather than racing role initially.
"I see myself in Formula 1 soon, or at least I hope so," the nephew of the late, great triple F1 World Champion Ayrton Senna - who has also been strongly linked to Scuderia Toro Rosso - is quoted by F1SA as having told Spanish newspaper Diario Sport.
It was rumoured during the Japanese Grand Prix weekend at Fuji Speedway t🐽hat an announcement could take place at Interlagos - hoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚme ground to both Barrichello and Senna - in just over a fortnight's time.
Should Senna indeed gradu♉ate to the uppermost echelon with Honda, it is believed that Barrichello is the most likely man to make way for the 24-year-old - and, it is suggested, he could be set to head across the Pond to the IndyCar Series where he would rejo🌄in old friends Tony Kanaan and Helio Castroneves.
South American website Grande Premio reports that the S?o Paulista will test a Honda-powered Penske next month, possibly at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida. There was similar talk back in April [see separate story - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:click here], whilst the nine꧂-tiܫme grand prix-winner has also been linked to the premier Brazilian stock car series, in which former Brazilian F1 aces Tarso Marques, Luciano Burti, Ricardo Zonta and Antonio Pizzonia currently make a living.
