After a rather disappointing race in Buenos Aires, in which Bruno Senna could only finish in a modest tenth place and take one championship point home with him.

However, for the upcoming race in Mexico, Senna expects good a return to the performance levels the team had in Beijing, which will give the Brazilian a chance to challenge for a top five spot to stay within striking distance of his competitors in the driver championship.

“We have done some development work in Punta”, Senna said during the Buenos Aires eprix. “Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to apply it to the car from Buenos Aires. It was a little bit tight.”

“So, we are getting the information and trying to translate into the setup, and hopefully, we are going to gain a good few tenths on most tracks, and that could put us ahead of the guys who we are fighting with,” he told motorsport.com.

Recently, the 30-year old has been struck by a peroid of bad luck, as a puncture in Punta del Este runied his race and a crash at the end of his flying lap in Argentina forced him to start from 16th.

The Brazilian has been very optimtic about the teams chances of sucess when since the test day in Punta Del Este, but Senna now needs to hope his optimsiom pays off in Mexico in three weeks time.
