Senna targets GP2 drive for 2007

Senna, whose Double R teammate Mike Conway clinched the British F3 title last weekend, is in third place in the standings with only one round remaining. He is just seven points behind Briton Olivier Jarvis.

Senna, the nephew of the late three-time world champion Ayrton, will make his GP2 debut later this year, testing for three different teams as he evaluates his options for 2007.

"Next year I want to race in GP2 and now the problem is to understand for which team, but it's a situation that will be sorted better only after the series' winter testing," Senna told Autosprint.

"I will test for ART in Jerez, with DPR at Paul Ricard, where I'll have my GP2 debut, and with iSport International. These are the three best teams and I will do a one-day test with each of them.

"Afterwards I'll be able to decide which team I'll race for next year."

The Brazilian played down his links with the Toro Rosso F1 team, despite his close relationship with co-owner Gerhard Berger.

"Nothing is decided on that front either," Senna said of jumping straight to F1. "Gerhard Berger, who has always been very close to me in my career, has introduced me in the circle, but besides having a fine relationship with them there's nothing else, no agreement.

"I started my career for real only last year and I really have too little experience for F1. Of course, if my folks didn't block my career, I would have come to this point much earlier."
