My Prediction for the Future

All you can ask of a junior driver learning his trade is that he improves year on year and Bruno is one driver who has done that. He only has two years of experience, the first truncated with many trips back and forth between Brazil and Europe, but in 2012 he started to show potential.

For him to continue that progress in 2013 he needs a move up into Formula Renault Euro cup with Prema Power, I would have preferred to see him move into GP3 but another season in Formula Renault will not be a disaster – unless he fails to become champion, bur his progress so far is deserving of a GP3 seat.

It now looks likely that he will move to Euroseries Formula Three in the future as Prema Power are the top team in that series, then he will continue his improvement that will guide him into championship contention the following year setting him on the right path to follow in the footsteps of Senna, Fittipaldi, Piquet et al and become the next Brazilian star.
