You underestimate the difference racing experience can make. You honestly think that nearly a decade of extra racing experience would not have helped him? All the best drivers on the grid […]

Nope. Given that Bruno Senna is averaging one major mistake every other Grand Prix, I don’t think his problems would be fixed by closing the gaps in his resume.

Didn’t Alonso reportedly get 125 for a 5 year deal?

I don’t think it’s fair to apportion blame/credit to solely the driver. We need to factor in he team too for strategy, reliability, pitstops, etc.

Some cars are also qualifying specialists, some are race […]

This is a pain in the arse. I’m trying to free up space for it and am struggling. I got it download after deleting a load of music (which I spent ages doing last night before finding out the Store was down […]

I think he meant that as he’s decent now, he could be much better without such a large gap in his CV- as the topic of the thread suggests. Do you really not think that with better experience he may have reached […]

Are you sure? He is a decent driver now

Yes, I’m sure. “Decent” simply isn’t good enough in Formula 1 these days. Senna might have out-scored Maldonado 14-4 before Spain, but he should have had twice as many […]

₤100,000,000 in total is still incredible. It amazes me how rich these F1 drivers really are.

Out of the sport. he probably would have had his chance, failed to impress, and been quietly dropped.

haha well of course it’s not 100m every year

One hundred million pounds sounds incredible, but it’s probably going to be one hundred million in total, rather than one hundred million every year.

However, where do you think he’d be if he never missed out on 8 years of his racing career?

I’ve noticed […]

He’s not bad, but I’m not sure he’s good enough to be in F1. Call be cynical, but I just don’t think he’d have got as far as he has with his famous name. I’m not saying he wouldn’t have got anywhere, but […]

Thankyou Drew!

not strictly indy, but as good as anywhere else i guess:

If i can i would like to drive the caterham please

If he did full time karting in his teenage years, he would probably have already entered Junior Formula by 2000, when he was 16; and by 2005, when he was 21, he’d be in F1 already.
He would be a much better […]

I didn’t think Senna did any full time racing again until 2005.

I think he could be much stronger anyway. Who knows where he could have ended up.

I will take issue with this though:
“Even this year, […]

I’m not sure I agree with what @roald says about not having as much natural talent as the rest of the grid, I think he does have a lot of natural talent, but he’s less refined and experienced, due to the long […]
