Senna calls for two-tier qualifying

BARCELONA - Formula One's new teams should qualify among themselves at next week's Monaco Grand Prix so as not to pose a danger to other drivers, Brazilian rookie Bruno Senna suggested on Thursday.

Senna, nephew of the late triple world champion Ayrton, who was a multiple winner on the streets of the Mediterranean principality, said he would raise the issue at a drivers' meeting on Friday at the Spanish Grand Prix.

The all-new teams - Hispania, Virgin Racing and Lotus - are several seconds slower than the established ones and would be expected to fill the slots at the back of the grid under normal conditions.
