Barrichello provides the essentials

“The old one” still has resources. Despite a clear domination of the drivers Red Bull, Rubens Barrichello was able to secure the podium for Brawn GP at Silverstone, while Jenson Button was only sixth. If the reliability of the car de Brackley is not called into question, its technical advantage at the start of the season seems to have dried up somewhat during the British Grand Prix. An impression confirmed by the Brazilian himself: “ The race was really difficult. This is the best result we could hope for. »

Second in qualifying, Barrichello was overtaken by Webber in the refueling game, unable to keep up with the Australian's pace thereafter. “ My second stint was difficult on the hard tires. And the wind seriously bothered me. Certain gusts sent me onto the dirty part of the track. »

Despite a race spent behind the Red Bulls, while the Brawn GPs were used to monopolizing the front of the peloton, Rubens Barrichello thinks he "did the job" by finishing third. “ We weren't the fastest but I did what I had to do based on the car I had. » The driver recognizes that it is not unpleasant to see his teammate not get on the podium. “ We all came back a little in the rankings on Jenson, that was everyone's goal. »
