Rubens Barrichello
The television Globe Net informed in the morning of this Saturday that the Brazilian one Rubens Barrichello is going to dispute the season 2006 of the World one of Formula 1 by the BAR. Although it have I hire with the Ferrari to the end of the championship of the year that comes, the announcement would be able to to be confirmed us near days.

The narrador Galvão Bueno did question of stand out that the information was of extra character. With that, the vacancy in the red team stayed in open, with the also Brazilian one Felipe Batter, today in the Sauber, appearing like one of the favorite to occupy-read. The pilot youth comes doing a good season and has bond with the Ferrari, where acted like pilot of you quiz in 2003.

"The interest is very big for know who is going to occupy now the Monday drifts in the Ferrari. It is a surprise that news of the Rubens.

Now it is going to await for the official announcement", affirmed the native of são paulo Luciano Burti, comentarista of the transmission and ex-pilot of you quiz of the Ferrari, that disputes today the Brazilian Championship of Stock Car.

Barrichello is a piece key in the dance of the hips of the Formula 1, even after the English one Jenson Button revealed I desire of remain in the BAR, without want efetivar the change for the Williams in the near championship.

The representative of the United Kingdom, in the however, should be obliged it fulfill the option of the Williams: case will not have 75% of the points of the leader of the table to the GP of the Turkey, 14ª phase of the present calendar, in the day 21 of August, should come back to the English team by which estreou in the main category of the planet in the year 2000.

THANK YOU for all the memories Rubens Barrichello.

Now showing at all theaters (neon signs glowing brightly) -
"Let the Silly Season Begin"

I just discovered this:

http://www.speedtv.com/articles/auto/formulaone/18541/

 

Exactly...either I have to hear it from Rubens, or read it in the mainstream press.

 

Silly season is right. The Speedtv article mentions DC as a possible replacement. Didn't he just 'sign' with RBull for 2 more years? Wonder how his name got thrown into the mix. And Fisi certainly hasn't done himslf any good with his erratic drives this year.

 

We will all know for sure once the first practice starts at the first race in 2006.

If Rubens does go to BAR I wish him the best.

 

Rubens limited himself to saying that “Nelson seems to know more than I do.”

I TRUST RUBENS OVER PIQUET! ANY DAY!

Thank you for all your hard work Rubens! Best of luck!

 

Agreed rubens will always be synonymous with the prancing horse for me he has been a major contributor for the team's success over the past 6 years.

I'm a little surprised he's going to go to BAR though. If Jenson gets his way and ends up staying with HOnda Rubens might once again wind up playing 2nd fiddle to Button.

I'd really like to see RB head over to the BMW camp next year, but I know that's just wishful thinking.

 

so where is he going? which team? he'll be missed.

 

Finally!!!!!!

I think Fisi would be a good stop-gap solution. But for God's sake!!!! Somebody teach him how to use the clutch!!!!!!

 

Hmm, Rubens replacing Button, who goes to Williams? I thought Button was trying everything he could to STAY at BAR? I think its more likely that Rubens replaces Sato. I don't think he's lived up to the expectations that BAR has had for him, so his demise has to be fairly imminent.

I hope the Massa to Ferrari happens though. He's done good in a crap car, and they have been courting each other for years. Seems like the perfect fit to me. I also know they commented during the Germany race that Fisichella has been craving that Ferrari ride forever. However, I think that his time has passed, and they will take Massa over Fisi.

I do wish Rubens luck wherever he lands. He's basically been Ferrari's "test dummy" for Michael, and he hasn't complained once about it. After the whole "team orders" move in what, 2002? that cost him the win at the end, did you hear Rubens complain? Nope. He simply said "I did what the team thought was best". He let it go. Then when Michael "repayed" him at Indy, by letting him win, he simply let it go and played the perfect team character. He's the perfect team guy the whole time at Ferrari, and he will play the role well at BAR (if thats where he lands).

 

Fresh blood is always a good thing. Not sure Massa is the answer though. Would have rather seen Button in that seat. Or even Jacques, just for memories sake. Oh well.

 

Emotional junk food: Imagine Villeneuve in the Ferrari with no fuel taking the pole at say Monza. Gosh I would cry.

 

I do not think you would be alone!

 

I WAS AT THE 2005 MONZA RACE AND HE WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!
WHAT A DRIVE ..

I HOPE ITS NOT TRUE

I WILL MISS SEEING HIM IN RED

HE WAS A BIG PART OF ONE OF THE BEST RUN OF WINS FERRARI HAS EVER HAD...

RB

THAHK YOU ,

 

Wow, a time traveler!

Now I'm looking forward to that race. Thanks.
