Ross Brawn, following the announcement of Williams, who formalized the arrival of the Brazilian within the Grove team, wanted to have a word for the veteran of the field. “ We are very happy that Rubens continues to run in Formula 1 one more season, says Ross Brawn. Rubens had been with us for four years and we considered him a very experienced and talented driver whose contribution to the team during this period was paramount. »

Rubens contributed greatly to our success in the Constructors' Championship with two great victories at Valencia and Monza as well as numerous podiums and was a pleasure to work with. »
