F1: Beyond The Grid

LEGENDS: Rubens Barrichello on following Senna and racing Schumacher

He’s one of the most experienced drivers in F1 history, who won races for championship teams Ferrari and Brawn GP. 

During his long career, Rubens Barrichello had to cope with the loss of his legendary countryman, Ayrton Senna, and the challenge of carrying the hopes of Brazilian fans afterwards. At Ferrari, Rubens went up against a dominant Michael Schumacher, and while he never won a title, he proved he could match his teammate on his day. 

Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Rubens reflects on some of the highs and lows of his career, the long shadow cast by the death of Senna, and the pressure and pride he felt racing for Brazil’s passionate F1 fans.
