Rubens Barrichello must confirm

His result at the European Grand Prix was unexpected to say the least. In front of Ferrari in difficulty and a Red Bull to the mat, the pilot Williams, starting from 9th place, was able to make his way through the streets of Valencia to finish just off the podium. The Brazilian did not hide his satisfaction after such a good result, which allowed him to practically triple his points in the championship. “ The team did a good job in Valencia. It was satisfying to see us faster and I hope it continues ».

The former teammate of Michael Schumacher will have the answer this weekend at the Silverstone Grand Prix, which he finished on the podium last season. Will he be able to obtain such a good result on a car less efficient? “ We are going to have some improvements for Silverstone, which I hope will make the car faster. The spirit of the team is in the same direction, we have to get back to where we need to be and I am proud to be part of this challenge ».

Rubens Barrichello appreciates the English track, which he, like the other drivers, will have to rediscover after the changes made on the circuit. “ I love England and going to Silverstone. I also love the track. I know there have been some changes since last year, but I looked at the Moto GP a few weeks ago and there's still Becketts, Stowe, and Club? I love Becketts! Whether it's sunny or rainy, both suit me! ».

Williams is currently in seventh position in the Championship. The second driver of the team, Nico Hulkenberg, scored only one point in Malaysia. The team's hopes therefore seem to rest on the Brazilian, who would already be satisfied with finishing in the points.
