Bruno Senna out of F1, in with Aston Martin's GTE program for Le Mans and WEC this season

Former Williams and Renault Formula 1 driver Bruno Senna will race for Aston Martin in this year's World Endurance Championship. The former GP2 series runner up will race one of the Aston Martin Vantage V8 GTEs in the GTE Pro class with the full championship in the FIA World Endurance Championship, which including the Le Mans 24 Hours in mid June. This will be the first time Senna contested the Le Mans 24 hour race with ORECA back in 2009.

This deal rules Bruno Senna out of contention for the remaining seats on the F1 grid. Which, he had recently been linked to a Force India drive.

Senna will share the Gulf-liveried Vantage V8 with fellow Aston Martin Racing newcomer Frederic Makowiecki in all of the rounds in this seasons FIA World Endurance Championship, while Rob Bell will join them as the third driver for Le Mans and the Spa 6 Hours. Also, Bruno Senna will race the Aston for the first time at next month's Sebring 12 Hours alongside team regulars Darren Turner and Stefan Mücke.

What I seen in the forums that Bruno Senna was never really a fast Formula 1, if he had got the drive at Force India would have been a totally bad decision. Personally, I disagree with all this. Bruno Senna was a fast enough driver to be in Formula 1 as it is, would have been a reliable option for Force India if he was signed. But, I doubt he would have been a fast enough driver for a top four team in my opinion. Anyway, good luck to Bruno Senna at his new challenge at Aston Martin this season. And hopes he win a few class wins with the Vantage V8 this season.
