Clearly, Bruno Senna is still undecided about his future and continues to multiply tests behind the wheel of completely different machines.

This time, it was on the very fast Hockenheim track that the Brazilian made his first laps with the brand new Mercedes AMG entered in the German Touring Championship this year.

The GP2 vice-champion should soon announce whether or not he wishes to continue on this path, but Norbert Haug, Mercedes sporting director, hastened to affirm that this test does not suggest any possible participation of Senna in the championship. DTM 2009 at the moment. Herr Haug, however, is very favorable to the idea of ​​seeing the Brazilian defend the colors of the star brand.

“Nothing is currently being done but the ?close racing? aspect? and the level of performance of the DTM could suit me perfectly. Then it is true that a season in this championship would constitute one more line on my business card, at a time when I will have to renegotiate a steering wheel in F1. “, affirmed Senna.

Unlike Audi, Mercedes still has several vacant seats for the coming season and the first race will take place in May, which still leaves a little time for the different teams to make their choice.
