Yamamoto in for Senna at Silverstone

HRT race driver Bruno Senna will be replaced by test driver Sakon Yamamoto for the British Grand Prix weekend, the team revealed on Thursday evening. The reason for the last-minute change has not been confirmed.


Senna has driven his - and HRT’s - first nine Grands Prix this season alongside fellow newcomer Karun Chandhok. Yamamoto, a veteran of 14 Grand Prix starts with Super Aguri and Spyker (now Force India), joined the Spanish team in April.

HRT are expected to issue a press release on the matter on Friday morning.
