The Hispania Racing team has announced that Bruno Senna will not be racing for the team at Silverstone this weekend. He will be replaced by ex Super Aguri driver Sakon Yamamoto this weekend. The team have yet to confirm who will be taking Senna's place for the rest of the season and it is possible the Brazilian will find his way back into the team later in the season.

Yamamoto will bring some experience to the team following his previous outings and it could be a positive move but following the performances Senna has put in thus far this season it is likely that the Japanese driver will be bringing extra sponsorship money to the team which is something that the team has been lacking up to this point.
