Petrov has developed a good relationship with Renault newcomer Senna since he joined the team.

You now have a new race driver team mate – what’s your relationship like with Mr. Senna?

I’ve known Bruno for quite a long time from my days in GP2. Back then, we were not close friends, but since he joined us this year he’s been in every briefing and we’ve eaten together, talked a lot and developed a good relationship. He’s a good mate, and he’s also a talented driver, which was evident in Belgium. He demonstrated his skills there for all to see.
