Barrichello is Brazilian not Italian

[@TK4491TK]

I'm glad somebody else put this down as I don't think I can listen to much more which is a bit of a shame 😞

[@NeoYggdrasill1]

And his first name is Rubens, not Ruben. Not sure why so many English channels get that wrong.

[@TK4491TK]

@@NeoYggdrasill1 I've no idea why either.. it's very annoying though 😂

[@Jay-jb2vr]

Because they're *ENGLISH*

[@adamhutchison6723]

Bloody English.

[@TheMattgray19]

If Rubens was Italian I'm pretty sure ferrari would of treated him better

[@that_car_guy_]

4:36 "totally, David Coulthard"

[@andredeketeleastutecomplex]

They never wrote 'SCU' for Schumacher but 'MSC'.

[@AndyS-kv2jh]

I was there with my dad, grandpa, and uncle and our seats were between turns 12-13. We ended up leaving a few laps (4-5 laps) because we knew Schumacher was going to win but that didn’t happen.

[@John14710]

What a stupid reason to leave tho. I can’t believe that

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

2005 US GP?

[@brianboniuk1072]

RubenS, dear god.

[@jerichokane5880]

It’s pronounced Rubens and he’s Brazilian

[@fridgeffs5662]

Dont worry this guy making these videos is just an idiot trying to milk f1 to make money on youtube. He doesnt actually watch it.

[@SimRacingVeteran]

@@fridgeffs5662 FR.

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

If Rubens Barrichello is Brazilian, why would he join an Italian team? He has betrayed his own nation! 😤

[@DrAlex82]

His name is RubenS Barrichello, and he is not Italian! 🤦‍♂️ Michael's abbreviation was "MSC" not "SCU".

[@Katejsej]

This is one of the best actions of the whole F1. They are really good driver and will be remembered forever.

[@gregoryshtevensh6868]

A little more research needed, Rubens is Brazilian and the Williams crashed at turn 1 not 13 for example

[@peterarmstrong5288]

As soon as Barrichello was described as Italian, you’ve lost me forever. Will never watch this channel again.

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

Michael Schumacher originally wanted to join Mercedes because of German pride but Mercedes weren't there! He had to join Ferrari, even though Germany used to fight against Italy during WWII! As soon as Mercedes made a comeback in 2010, Michael made a comeback too!

[@jeanpierre5941]

@@madkhaliqfarhanGermany and Italy were allies and part of the Axis?

[@vajs6312]

I still remember this race. I was 12, a big Schumacher fan and even had a type of Ferrari jersey with Michael on it, which earned me the nickname Schumi because I would wear it to school often. I was a bit disappointed by the outcome, but later I rewlized why he did it (to give Rubens a victory after he had to let him pass). A really memorable race.

[@KorpseTheOriginal]

Its Rubens not Ruben. Also 1000% sure he is Brazilian. Do your research next time please

[@bfapple]

Is it Barrichello or Massa that has Italian ancestry? Either way, they’re Brazilian national.

[@t4kumi704]

Yeah the entire channel is AI generated I think

[@SimRacingVeteran]

1:36 Pretty hard to take someone seriously when they say Barrichello is Italian.

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

If that's the case, then Alex Yoong has become an Italian because he joined Minardi... And he's no longer considered Malaysian! Dasar tali barut Itali... 😤

[@TheMattC9999]

When they say RUBEN Barrichello is Italian at that......

[@SimRacingVeteran]

@@TheMattC9999 yeah he totally left the S out.

[@HarrisLoops]

Stuck at home with the flu, I was about 4 of your videos in when I laughed out loud literally thanks to Coulthard telling me to subscribe, I of course did so immediately Very funny, nice work, and thanks for making me smile when I’m feeling crook.

[@billybreath2387]

Austria was far more controversial that year.

[@XDRosenheim]

I really do not see how that would be controversial. They finished next to each other, big deal. MSC let go of the gas a tad bit too much, or BAR pushed it a tad bit too much. One of them had to go first.

[@NomadUniverse]

did you not listen to the last couple of minutes?

[@XDRosenheim]

@@NomadUniverse I did, and this is my comment.

[@NomadUniverse]

@@XDRosenheim They gave you several strong examples of why it would be and what it actually did to the F1 world and you still dont see it huh? Well...I dont know what to tell you.

[@XDRosenheim]

@@NomadUniverse And I gave my reason for why I did not think it was a big deal. How can you not get that?

[@dclark142002]

It absolutely was a staged ending. Something that has been done for years in F1 and in Endurance Racing.

[@Buffalo31]

I stopped watching after this ( at the time when it was free live TV) and restarted watching the highlights only again in 2018.

[@techtipsuk]

It’s Rubens with an s not Ruben.

[@Burns1993Joe]

RUBENS not Ruben!

[@zigwald]

I was there. The Brazilian fans were quite happy!!!

[@AbdulRahim14906]

Can make story about ralf schumacher

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

Ferrari wants its drivers to be Italian, right? If we were to follow your logic, Charles Leclerc is an Italian!

[@gooshy8312]

By my (American) reckoning, Ferrari owes Rubens about 3 world championships. (Nothing against Michael, but I got sick of the Ferrari/Schumacher roadshow after 5 years.)

[@stefanegger]

Who is "SCU"???? It should be "SCH", but as both Ralf and Michael had the same name, it was "MSC".

[@charlesdarwin7253]

It's short for "Scuderia"

[@Lapul10ga]

Jesus no! And it was MSC @@charlesdarwin7253

01:33 - Rubensss Barrichello os Brazilian. Many Brazilians have italiana surnames.

[@DarkwalkerXY]

Why got Ferrari no tabak sponsor but Mclaren?

[@MrInsomniac19]

1:35 - *Brazilian

[@Willy_Milano]

10:38 “You could've heard a pin drop” Yeah, you can hear pin drops over the engines. There's some quality writing in this video.

[@Phenixia_W]

Commented 12 s after the vid lol

[@DailyFuelUp]

Love your determination haha 👍🏻

[@SimRacingVeteran]

@@DailyFuelUp haha do better. Not one comment you acknowledge where people called you out for saying Barrichello was Italian, when he’s actually Brazilian. But sure acknowledge the idiot who shows up in 12 seconds for that sweet internet money though. Do you even F1? Or you just trying to capitalize on F1 videos?

[@ihnder]

Man Schumacher is MSC, who is SHU?!

[@SimRacingVeteran]

He also said Barrichello was Italian @ 1:36.

[@Jester-Riddle]

It said 'SCU' I believe ... even stranger !

[@Xoi5353]

It was intentional to finish milliseconds apart

[@Sobbleandchess]

Keep it up 👍

[@siavash405]

1:37 does Rubens have Italian citizenship as well,?

[@dubdogstep]

interesting its all right to do this in theese days and age, but when ferrari did it it was wrong. media stunts

[@sephgamestv2412]

Italian ? Rubens is Brazilian.... is this just another "journalist sensationalism" channel that does not care about accuracy and "assumes" the guy is Italian because of his last name without doing any research at all ? Or even worst, doing F1 stuff w/o even knowing the nationality of the drivers, even the ones that had run for the championship and for the big teams ? Thats just ridiculous.

[@SimRacingVeteran]

Pretty hard to take someone seriously when they get things like that wrong. I’m noticing many mistakes in this channel’s videos.

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

If you don't want to be Italian, don't join Ferrari! Easy!

[@AlonsoRules]

So many men have died at Indianapolis in the name of the sport and this farcical finish is an insult to all of them. Handouts to defeated rivals at the hallowed grounds of IMS does not go down well with anyone.

[@errantalgae]

considering what had happened prior in the season it was a win that was not given freely but rather earned in a previous race just to be taken away by the team

[@SimRacingVeteran]

This channel is going on my do not recommend list.

[@Sobbleandchess]

👍

[@JLC9487]

Schumi in a sczhaggie

[@TheGav0071]

BS. The most controversial F1 finish in history was the infamous "Massi-gate" race fixing & gifting the 2021 championship to Max Vertwtatten from Lewis Hamilton.
