Bruno Senna believes he stands a good chance of entering Formula One next season, although it may be in a test driver role.

Senna, the nephew of the late Ayrton Senna, has been hotly tipped to take a role with Toro Rosso next season, perhaps even as a race driver.

However, he says STR is not the only team he's been talking to.

"Obviously, I had a great season in GP2, it was a season with a few highs and few lows but good enough to finish second," Senna told Reuters.

"And I guess it gave me good possibilities to go to Formula One next year.

"We have been speaking with quite a few teams and there is great interest from a few of them.

"So there are a few opportunities as a race driver, a few as a test driver... but there is a lot of competition and I need to come ahead of the competition right now on the negotiations and see if I can get a race drive."

He added: "Toro Rosso is one of the possibilities in Formula One, not the only one, but it can make the whole difference and for sure he (Berger) still gives me great advice and helped all the way.".
