I still can't decide whether the Senna ,yellow car up there ^^^^ looks stupid or sensational....
Auto correct for Senna is Denmark.
IMHO, it's awful and a disgusting use of the name Senna.Auto correct for Senna is Denmark.
Standard marketing bullshine for the badge gullible, almost up to BMW standard.

Bruno Senna involved in Development, and driven it in a lot of the marketing events....they don't seem to think so.
Clearly Mr Bruno is a nice chap, and he's driven F1 so he's possibly a bit better than me 
But I don't recall him being the worlds best development driver. And in fairness a dedicated car development team is always going to be better than a racer. Its very odd that McLaren didn't bring in Fernando to give some pointers over Bruno. Tell me they'd already named the car early on, and wanted a link to the family. I wonder if when you buy one a percentage goes tot eh Senna foundation?
It's odd because I recall an interview with AS's sister and they basically said they would only grant the Senna logo to high end, beautiful looking products (MV Augusta and Ducati 916 Sennas for example)
People batter on about the NSX and Ayrton. But I cant believe he was sitting down with the engineers testing 18 different anti roll bars one day. Honda built a good car all on their own.

Nakajima had a lot more input than Senna, and Bobby Rahal was also involved in late-stage testing, neither of them slouches behind the wheel.
Senna did make one important contribution though - he suggested the car felt a little fragile, which led to significant chassis-strengthening...which led to it being a more stable platform for the suspension to work against. He followed that up with a full day suspension testing, so the handling of the car DOES have him as a significant contributor.

320d or Roberto Ravagria? Standard marketing bullshine for the badge gullible, almost up to BMW standard.
