Bruno Senna and his compatriot Felipe Massa have decided the clash at Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix which led to Massa’s retirement and Senna’s punctured front tyre was merely a racing incident, and that the blame will not be placed on either driver.

The accident occurred well into the race, during the 47th lap, and immediately led to Massa retiring from the race due to front suspension damage. Senna managed another 6 laps after he’d pitted to switch the punctured wheel, before eventually limping out of the Grand Prix himself.

The two Brazilians’ cars touched during a complicated sequence of attempted overtakes between 3 cars, Toro Rosso’s Daniel Ricciardo being the driver at the front of the queue. Massa was trying to pass Ricciardo and Senna saw the opportunity to dive around the outside as Massa pulled back from his attempt. The cars touched as Massa started towards the middle of the track just as Senna turned in, resulting in the two drivers scraping along for a few metres.

Senna described the incident without apportioning blame, saying “You are fighting for every millimetre of the track and probably if I was a bit slower on the outside we would have probably just touched wheels and it would have been fine, but I was a bit faster and his front wing got in touch with my front tyre and that was that.”

The Sauber driver will have been disappointed to end his race in that fashion, as he was putting on a good performance up to the clash, challenging for a place in the top ten. His career points tally is a paltry 2 from 27 races up to this point, but with such a positive start to the 2012 season he may be in a good position to improve his record this year.

Brazilian Formula 1 driver Bruno Senna is really excited about how his new Williams car runs on Pirelli tyres. He admitted that he was quite surprised about how well the Pirelli tyre lasted during the final pre-season testing at Barcelona today.
Bruno completed about a full race distance in the afternoon session, spotlit by a fifteen lap stint on the soft Pirelli tyre and a nineteen lap sting on medium compound tyre. According to Bruno, it was pay-off in an area the Williams has been particularly focused on.

Williams has been working really hard to get a way for the car to take care of tyres. The morning session was good, they managed to discover a lot about each tyre compound; few of them went nice, few of them did not go very well terms of receiving maximum out of the tyres.

The afternoon session was rich with the race sim. It was difficult; the conditions of the track were changing in the afternoon session. But Williams managed to put more laps than they were anticipating.

Senna added that he thinks that it was an informative race stint that unfortunately got cut short by the rain. He wanted to see how the harder tyres were going to behave at the end of the stint, but they were behaving very well and the lap times were not so bad, therefore he thinks that they were looking OK.

Bruno was stopped by an electrical issue after the rain set in. He is, however, confident that there will be no reliability problems in Melbourne in two weeks time as it was a small issue and nothing to think about.
