Is This a Clue Where Senna is Going?
The F1 community has been playing a version of Where’s Waldo every time the name Bruno Senna crosses someone’s lips or gets printed.
So I wonder… is this a clue?
Bruno Senna, nephew of Formula One legend Ayrton Senna, currently occupies second place in the GP2 Championship and is widely tipped to make his Formula One debut in the 2009 season.
It has just been announced Senna has been named as the Brand Ambassador for Hilton Racing and will write an exclusive column on the team website.
I wonder why? Is it a clue to his future? Or is Hilton just latching onto the latest “hot thing?”
Commenting on his new role, Bruno stated, “I am absolutely delighted to have joined the Hilton Family and feel privileged to be working with such a recognized brand. I look forward to working with them over the coming months off track whilst I continue to work hard on track.”
“It is fantastic that Hilton Hotels have had such a passion for motorsport and I look forward to sharing my race experiences with HiltonRacing.com’s thousands of members”.
It’s a cinch Lewis and Heikki aren’t going anywhere soon, I think, but you have to wonder about this new association.
Lets see, Senna bides his time in riding herd over a Red Bull while waiting for Hamilton to self-explode and leaves for some other team. Yeah, sounds about right to me.
I also wonder about the over/under bet, I say 5 working days.
5 working days before the celeb tabloids link Bruno Senna and Paris Hilton complete with “exclusive pictures” taken from a Mediterranean mega-yacht at a distance of, oh say… 100 kilometers and the “couple” are 2 millimeters tall on a 8×10 image
The fact that she as no conection with the Hilton company wont stop them writing a Brunno-Paris story.
I’m still not convinced he will be a F1 front runner. Let’s see how he finishes the GP2 season. To be blunt, Pantano is the “benchmark” a F1 hopeful should be well clear off.
If he gets a run with Torro Rosso, Uncle Gehard wont be running him on love, he will have to bring sponsorship. Your story above seems to indicate he can pull a few bucks to fund a F1 ride.
HUH? clear of; not off, …oops.
Peter - “The fact that she as no connection with the Hilton company wont stop them writing a Brunno-Paris story.”
I beg to differ, her great-great grand parents were Hilton Hotel founder Conrad Hilton and his first wife, Mary Barron, and her paternal grandparents are hotel chairman Barron Hilton and his wife.
That’s connected enough for me, and damn sure close enough for the tabloids to make hay of such a “fine couple.”
Well Duh it’s her family. LOL!
I meant she does not work for the company, in fact didn’t Granddad kick her out of the will.
Mind you, nobody could have done more to damage Hilton than Baron after Conrad stood down. Remember the Atlantic City Casino disaster.
Anywhoo, back to motor racing
Yeah she was booted out of the will with about 2-3 mil in “severance pay.”
