Bruno Senna Lalli (born October 15, 1983) is a Brazilian former racing driver who raced in Formula 1 from 2010 until 2012 with Hispania Racing, Lotus Renault, and Williams. He is also the nephew of three-time world champion Ayrton Senna.
Hispania Racing
After narrowly missing out on a potential signing with Brawn GP for the 2009 season, Senna was announced as a Formula 1 racing driver for the 2010 season with Campos Meta, later renamed to Hispania Racing F1 Team (HRT). The Spanish outfit failed to score points during that season.
Lotus Renault
Senna signed with Lotus Renualt as a test and reserve driver for 2011, but returned to racing duties after replacing Nick Heidfeld at the Belgian Grand Prix until the end of the season. Bruno scored his first Formula 1 points at the following round in Monza with a ninth place finish. He was left without a drive after the rebranded team announced Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean as their 2012 lineup.
Williams
Senna’s third and final season in Formula 1 was with Williams, alongside Pastor Maldonado. After completing 2012 with ten points-scoring finishes, Senna was replaced by Valtteri Bottas for 2013.
Rebellion Timepieces
Senna raced a Rebellion R13 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2018 and 2019. To celebrate their joint success, Rebellion Timepieces announced the the Re-Volt Carbon Forged Bruno Senna Limited Edition. The dial features the colors of the Brazilian flag, with Bruno’s signature appearing on both the sapphire crystal and exhibition case back. The signature model was limited to 20 pieces.
Despite the highly probable tie-in with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the chronograph visually leans towards a general tribute to Bruno himself.
