LOL! Rubens so deserved this! One of the most under rated drivers in F1 finally got some justice, kudos on Button too with the sense of humor to wear the opposing shirt too. :) Rubens Barrichello may not yet have added to his win tally at Williams this year, but that has not stopped him milking his latest triumph as much as possible. Rubens BarrichelloAfter the British Grand Prix, the world found out that Barrichello had become a bit of a cult hero after setting the fastest ever time on the BBC Top Gear programme's slot 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.' The Brazilian had not been allowed to talk about his success at Silverstone, so Germany was his first chance to rub in his achievement against some of his rivals. He thus turned up in the paddock wearing an 'I beat the Stig' T-shirt. And then he made sure to make the trip down to see some of his friends as he had a gift for them. So he knocked on the doors of Mark Webber, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton

Not in my books ..... forget it Rubinho, you can say whatever you want , but everybody knows you are there to play second fiddle to Micheal Shumacher. You have never proven yourself to be champ material , like Coultard. Driving a similar car to Micheal ... wats yr average score per year ?? And with Micheal behind the wheels of the other Ferrari, he'll just radio back to the pits and u'd get screwed over and over again ..... let Micheal pass will always be the voice to haunt you. Rubens 'DC' Barrichello: 'I Will Be World Champ' 15/01/04 Is Rubens Barrichello F1's new David Coulthard? The Brazilian is definitely vying for the role, as his recent 'I'm going to be World Champion' comments have demonstrated. Speaking after Ferrari announced that he's signed for another two years, Rubinho proclaimed to the world that he would one day be the F1 World Champion. "I expect to win races and fulfil my dream of winning a World Championship - at least one. By signing the contract I have at least another three chances of winning the title," a bullish Barrichello said. But the 31-year-old won't be happy about winning the title unless he succeeds in doing it while his six-times World Champion team-mate, Michael Schumacher, is still racing. "I am very proud to work with Michael... racing alongside him is a privilege and not a problem, but I do hope to become World Champion. And if I have to win, I'll win now and not when he retires."

Having won the British Grand Prix Rubens Barrichello wanted to rush home to his family but things did not go according to plan and the flight was called off until Monday morning, leaving Rubens to spend the night in a hotel at Heathrow Airport. And then to make matters worse someone collided with his luggage trolley in the terminal and his Silverstone trophy fell off and was broken. "It was so frustrating," Rubens reported. "The only thing that kept me sane that Sunday night was remembering that I had won the Grand Prix."
