Monday 25 August at 17:51 : Bruno Senna has offered a choice rejoinder to raging speculation at Valencia that he has now signed to make his formula one debut next year with Toro Rosso.

It was also rumoured on the verge of the European grand prix, scene also of the support category GP2 for which 24-year-old Senna competes, that the nephew of the great Ayrton Senna may be close to penning a back-up 'option' to become BMW-Sauber's test driver in 2009.

The Brazilian was asked specifically by reporters about the latest Toro Rosso story.

"Yeah, I've been hearing that story as well ... oh dear," he laughed, according to GPWeek.

'Oh dear' indeed, but is it true?

"No, it's all lies. All bullshit," Bruno Senna replied.
