How's this? Senna?

As much as I agree with the top part..

Senna just isn't good enough, which is a shame, I really wanted him to be like his uncle and just be quick in anything at any time. Instead he seems to lack the "Killer instinct" and just quietly potters around, or hits something.
Pretty much my sentiments as well.

I don't get why he can't turn in a decent qualifying performance.
I would not give Senna good odds, but who knows, he could put together a perfect weekend. As well, his teammate has already won this year, and Silverstone is a fast track, not identical to Barcelona, but closer than others in characteristics.
Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

Last week he qualified well and I think that if he can stay out of trouble, he could finish on the podium, or maybe 4th or 5th again. The chassis is certainly capable, and I think that Kamui is too.
but he will be put 5 slots back on the grid....
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.
