Rubens Barrichello On Records, Schumacher & Senna | Beyond The Grid | Official F1 Podcast

No one has raced more in F1 than Rubens Barrichello - his 322 Grand Prix starts saw him race for Ferrari and Brawn GP, give up a race win to Michael Schumacher and get pranked by fellow Brazilian Ayrton Senna. Barrichello talks about all of these things plus more in this latest edition of F1 Beyond The Grid, supported by Bose.

we don't see enough of them to really make a proper opinion of them. I used to think Montoya was a dick, but in recent interviews he actually seems fun and easy to be around. Though I think Juan would have to ask Juanself if they met Juan today and ask Juan question about Juan Pablo Picasso again with a camera in his face on the pit straight, would he have a better humor about it.

Because he is reducing the power of sindicate over workers, letting people defend themselves even against bandits and the own governament due the flexibility to have guns, trying to privatize a lot of state companies, dont chasing any minority, opening the market and the borders to the tourists. Fascism is exatly the opposite, all powers to state, removing the individual concept for one more collective, sindicate owning the workers rights preventing themselves of making their own contracts.

[@FelipePGiro]

The reason why I started watching motorsports back in 2009. I celebrated his pole at Interlagos harder than I did for Brazil winning the 2002 FIFA World Cup. I honestly don't care if he was mainly known as a wingman for Michael Schumacher or if he lacked that "extra" to win a WDC. His humble origins combined with his commonly known kindness and down-to-earthness automatically makes him my favorite driver of all time.

[@lespaz1197]

Yea considering his kindness and his person im not sure who is the true champ between him and schummi but michael is a good guy too, maybe lacking that brasilian warmth

Wow! Rubens in a Benetton in 1996 would have been interesting. And Mclaren in 2010?! Jenson stays on at Mercedes and Schumacher doesn't return. Hamilton doesn't get signed by Mercedes in 2013. What a difference it all would have been at the start of 2014.

[@wheresaldocanoe]

I'd be super curious to see how Rubens would have compared to the other title contenders in 2010, as that was a season where mental strength would have been absolutely key to success considering how closely contested it was. As somebody who has been a fan of Rubens ever since I first started watching Formula One, I would like to think he would have had a pretty decent chance, but I guess we'll never know.

[@SA-yb7mt]

@@wheresaldocanoe After his time at Ferrari where he played No.2 to Schumacher (for which Schumacher, and I think unfairly, gets plenty of stick) I was happy to see him in a title winning car in 2009. While Button was good I think Rubens was as good if not better, yet Rubens was no where for most of the season, especially the first half where Button banked all his wins. And the Brawn was still competitive in the second half winning races, so if Barrichello was better in the first half, he could have been champ.

[@wheresaldocanoe]

@@SA-yb7mt Oh for sure. Jenson was absolutely nowhere when the going got tougher in the second half of that season.

That owner/driver pairing between Stewart and Barrichello is criminally underrated because that is what helped shape Barrichello into the driver he has become.

I believe you should like the stories he have to tell, if you're not a "hater" of any driver. My favourite is Nelson Piquet, but of corse I can't forget al the other great drivers, like Lauda, Senna, Prost, Vettel, Schumacker, Rubens, Lewis, etc, etc, etc. Just because Ayrton and Prost was rivals from Piquet, I cannot say bad things about them, because they sometimes win against "my driver". They were great, too. You probably don't know, but the "war" between Piquet and the basilian media, began when he was in the english formula 2, or something, and he won races, and the brasilian media gave more attention for the brasilian that finishes second , or third, or whatever, than to him. In Brasil the news were: Our driver "name" finished in third, and so on. Oh by the way, the other brasilian driver, Nelson Piquet won the race. !!!!! Do you think this is fair?
