Senna in talks for Lotus team?

(GMM) Bruno Senna has slammed reports he has agreed to switch from HRT to the team currently known as Lotus Racing for 2011.

The reports emerged around the same time that it was suggested current Lotus driver Jarno Trulli had visited America recently to explore opportunities in NASCAR.

"I think people are just … they are making up rumors," said the Italian.

Trulli's manager Lucio Cavuto went further, revealing to Autosprint that he thinks the rumors were invented "by Senna".

Senna, however, has stridently denied the Lotus link, according to his comments published by Agencia Estado in Brazil.

"There is nothing to it. The stories are ridiculous," said the Brazilian.

He denied the rumors have benefitted him.

"It's bad for the job, because I look a fool when I go to speak with other teams," added the 27-year-old.
