Senna: Team right to want experience
Sunday, February 13th 2011
Bruno Senna says he accepts that Renault needs a 'more prepared' driver to stand in as Robert Kubica's replacement from the start of this season.
Senna was named as Renault's first reserve driver during last week's Valencia test, but following Kubica's injuries and likely long absence, team boss Eric Boullier said he wanted a substitute with more experience.
Nick Heidfeld impressed in testing for Renault yesterday, before Senna took over today. But the team denied there was any shoot-out for the drive, with Heidfeld almost certain to take it.
After his day in the car on Sunday, Senna agreed with Boullier's decision.
"I only had one day in the car and it was good, but for preparation you need much more than that - they need a driver that's ready to do it," he said.
"It wasn't a trial. In unfortunate circumstances I was given a great opportunity to drive the car and do some work for the team. Considering that I've only been here for three weeks, it's a great shot for getting some experience with the car and the team. The team knows what they need and it's up to them what they do."
Senna said he was still pleased with his day's work and believes he made a good impression on the Renault team.
"It was brilliant," he said. "It was the second test I had in a Formula 1 car, ever. Considering I raced for a year that's quite incredible. Doing a full test day in a car makes you learn so much as a driver.
"It's been a very productive day, I think the team liked the feedback I gave them. It took me a few laps to get into the KERS and rear wing systems - it's actually quite a lot in the brain. After it becomes second nature it's more straightforward."

Q & A: Senna on Renault testing debut
February 13th 2011
After Nick Heidfeld's Renault test on Saturday, today it was reserve driver Bruno Senna's turn to try the R31 - but the Brazilian already knew that he was not in contention to become Robert Kubica's substitute.
AUTOSPORT heard Senna's thoughts on his first test for his new employer and Renault's decision to seek an experienced stand-in.
Q. How did it go today?
Bruno Senna: The first few runs were more for me to get into the car and for me to get used to the tyres as well - we ran scrubbed tyres first this morning. Then we ran set-ups for the hard tyres to get a baseline for the car and a few aero runs as well to get some balanced figures.
On the second set of new hard tyres we got a few camber changes, tyre pressure changes, diff map, throttle map, quite a few electronic control changes in general that brought the car forward a bit.
It was good for me to do back-to-back changes as well to what the car was from before Nick drove and after Nick drove. A few things were quite different from the work that he did.
In the afternoon the plan was to run the soft and the super-soft tyres, but unfortunately we didn't get to do that properly, we only got the soft tyres in.
In general it's been a very productive day, I think the team liked the feedback I gave them. It took me a few laps to get into the KERS and rear wing systems to operate - it's actually quite a lot in the brain. After it becomes second nature it's more straight forward.
Q. Was this a trial for a drive with the team?
BS: It wasn't a trial. In unfortunate circumstances I was given a great opportunity to drive the car and do some work for the team. Considering that I've only been here for three weeks it's a great shot for getting some experience with the car and the team. The team knows what they need and it's up to them what they do.
It's not up to me. I only had one day in the car and it was good. But for preparation you need much more than that and they need a driver that's ready to do it.
Q. How would you say the test went?
BS: It was brilliant. It was the second test I had in a Formula 1 car, ever. Considering I raced for a year that's quite incredible.
Doing a full test day in a car makes you learn so much as a driver because of how much work you can do in the car. You can plan without having to worry too much about having only one and a half hours to do this or that. You can do different runs so I gathered a lot of experience, not only from driving the car but also from listening to the conversations between all the drivers and engineers.
I came into the car today and I was fully familiar with the communication procedures of the team. This is a big thing to learn when you get in the car. If you don't know what they're talking about you always can be confused, so it helps things.
Q. How did the car compare to the Hispania last year?

一切由车队决定
黑金色战车中的黄色头盔——这曾经是多么著名的场景。在周日布鲁诺·塞纳，著名的阿亚顿·塞纳的外甥，得意为雷诺测试赛车。测试工作并没有按照计划进行，最终Bruno并不满意。
AMuS:今天的计划进展如何？
塞纳：首先我必须适应赛车，因此我们用旧胎进行了试跑。之后是一些硬胎试跑，一些空力测试，还有一些不同电子设置和不同胎压的测试，从而我们得以使 赛车更快。我还可以做出一个对比：海费到来以前和之后的赛车的状态。显然他找到了一些重要的set up。在下午我们也想用软胎和超软胎上阵，但是并没有成功。总体而言这是相当有成效的一天，车队评估了我的反馈。操作好可动尾翼和KERS并不容易，但是 如果能够适应这样的操作，以前会变得更容易。
AMuS：轮胎配方之间的差异有多大？
塞纳：我预测硬胎和超软胎之间的差距在1.5到1.7秒之间。硬胎在长距离方面明显要更加持久，因此车手们可以更加激烈的驾驭。磨损比起去年要明显，策略的运用应该会使明年的比赛很有趣。
AMuS：今天是和海菲尔德竞争顶替库比卡席位的选拔测试吗？
塞纳：不是的，我的可能性并不大。如果人们考虑到，我只来到这里三个礼拜，这（参加测试）就已经是一件大事了。车队知道他们在寻求怎样的人选，现在他们将决定谁来顶替Kubica。
AMuS：您会在巴林驾驶赛车吗？
塞纳：我不这样认为，这并不取决于我。正如我所说的：我已经在赛车中度过了一天，但是想要准备好新的赛季人们需要做的远远更多。他们需要一个适合这项工作的车手。
AMuS：与去年相对的，在一支顶尖车队工作有多大的区别？
塞纳：这只是我参加F1以来的第二次测试。像这样在赛车中一整天对于年轻车手帮助很大。人们可以平静的准备工作，不像GP2时期那样有时间压力。我学到了很多东西，并不只通过驾驶，还有通过无线电聆听工程师之间的对话。
AMuS：赛车操控起来如何？
塞纳：非常好。雷诺打造了一辆很有竞争力的赛车。还有一些研发工作很有必要，赛车还有很大的潜力。
AMuS：为什么在最后下雨的情况下您没有进行试跑？
塞纳：在十分钟的时间内跑上一跑没什么意义。真正的雨天测试需要更多的时间。此前我一直在车房里等待测试超软胎，直到开始下雨。
AMuS：您感觉雷诺引擎和考斯沃斯有哪些不同？
塞纳：是有一些不同，雷诺的引擎动力输出更加稳定。但是每台引擎都有其输出特性，两家的心脏都很好。在一辆不给力的赛车里面很难评价引擎的表现如何。
AMuS：您在上午有一次小的侧滑，那是发生了什么情况？
塞纳：是我在赛道上太快了。我适应了普利斯通轮胎，希望得到更多的抓地力，但是抓地力并不够。
AMuS：在Pit里面和科瓦莱宁的小冲突是怎么一回事？
塞纳：是工作人员把我放出去了。。。但是我看到Heikki心情还算不错，我并没有让他不爽。
