Well Well Well…. Another sublime, controversial, thrilling and teeth grinding Memorial Race Weekend!! So instead of writing about ten pages of reviews (I should just record myself for 15 minutes, but that doesn’t work on here haha: and I've had almost zero sleep throughout the weekend, but I must write about this extremely important day), I’ll briefly recap five important stories/issues of the day. 

                                              Bruno Senna 

    I first must admit, I was at the crying point of the emotional spectrum when Bruno Senna won the GP2 feature race at Monaco this morning. Who would have thought that after May first, 1994 a “Senna” would ever win something at Monaco again? This is the place where Ayrton Senna fully proved his super-human like abilities, basically winning there eight times. When I saw Ayrton's nephew Bruno move to the ranks of GP2, I thought there was hope, even though his mother had made him quit racing after his uncle's death. When you quit what you're working on for ten years as Bruno did, no matter how good you were (and Ayrton is known to have said “if you think I’m good, you should see my nephew….”), you will largely lose everything. Somehow, Bruno got back into racing just recently and flew through the ranks.

    The biggest motor sports question for the past eight years or so (for me anyway), is how good would Bruno be today had he not quit. He does seem to have those “mitochondria” of the racing “force” that uncle Ayrton had. He can do incredible things with a race car, making some mistakes at this point; but the driving is there. 

    I stuck with Bruno last year, seeing that if you really analyzed him you could see the enormous potential. This year my belief in him has paid off and I knew it would. Senna now leads the GP2 points after six events. Had he not hit a stray dog on the track in Turkey, his incredible drive from 15th to sixth place in the sprint race would have boosted him more (although that bizarre event netted him some international fame).

    Speed TV's Formula 1 expert Bob Varsha seemed to think Senna was going too fast throughout the race, but he was just being a true Senna and totally running the field. He drove the Fastest Lap of the race on his way to the win.

What’s next for Bruno Senna? Clean up his driving style some, and we’ll be seeing a win at prestigious Monaco again, preceeded by the "F1" in the series title.
