SAKHIR, Bahrain (AP) _ Bruno Senna believes just getting across the Bahrain Grand Prix finish line will be victory enough for the Hispania Racing Team.

The nephew of three-time Formula One champion Ayrton Senna is set to debut on Friday, when the Spanish team practices for the first time after missing all of February's preseason testing.

Senna says ``finishing the race will be a great result. If that happens I guess it will feel like being on the podium.''

The 26-year-old Brazilian will be driving a car that is 20 kilograms (44 pounds) heavier than others since suspension components are made of steel, not carbon fiber.

HRT-F1 joins Lotus and Virgin Racing as the new teams on the grid for Sunday's first race of the season.
