2011-12-08 21:13:00 |
| It's been a big year for Bruno Senna, drafted into a Renault race seat mid-season after the team opted for youth over experience when they dropped Nick Heidfeld. Retaining that drive for 2012 is now top of Senna's Christmas wish list, but what else would he like?
Perhaps racing the Williams FW15 alongside uncle Ayrton around a Santa Monica street circuit, before clinching the world championship and heading for steak in Sao Paulo

Formula One Fantasy - Renault's Nick Heidfeld |
2011-08-12 16:58:00 |
| Nick Heidfeld is one of the longest-serving drivers on the current grid, with over 180 Grands Prix starts and 12 years of service to his name. As such, you would think that the German veteran has seen and done pretty much all there is to do in terms of Formula One racing.
You'd be wrong. There's still plenty left on Heidfeld's F1 fantasy wish list, including dining with Ayrton Senna, Bernie Ecclestone, Enzo Ferrari and Colin Chapman, trying out 1950s-style F1 and driving Michael Schumacher's title winning 2004 FerrariÂ…

| Renault enjoyed a stellar start to the season, with a podium for Vitaly Petrov in Australia and one for Nick Heidfeld in Malaysia. But recently the team's performance seems to have faded with Petrov and Heidfeld squabbling in the midfield rather than tackling the frontrunners.
At this weekend's Turkish race, Heidfeld finished in seventh with Petrov just behind in eighth. Although satisfied to get both drivers into the points in Istanbul, technical director James Allison is hopeful upgrades to the R31 could help the team enjoy better results.
