Bruno Senna to land test seat at McLaren in 2009?

Rumours about a possible Formula One future for Bruno Senna, nephew of Ayrton Senna, have taken a new turn. After being linked with the Scuderia Toro Rosso, Bruno is now put together with the McLaren Mercedes team.

Hilton Sport Sponsorships announced Bruno Senna as their new Hilton Racing's newest Brand Ambassador. The Hilton Hotel chain is one of the sponsors of the McLaren Mercedes Team and therefore links Senna to the Woking-based outfit.

It could be possible that Bruno Senna will join McLaren as test driver for the 2009 season as Heikki Kovalainen and Lewis Hamilton are both certain of their race seat next season. But in 2010, Lewis Hamilton and Bruno Senna might team up and form the public relations 'dream team' for McLaren.

Bruno Senna's uncle, Ayrton, raced for McLaren from 1988 to 1993 and won 3 championship titles with the team.
