Rubens Barrichello against Senna and Sutil

With 323 Grand Prix starts to his name, Rubens Barrichello still doesn't want to give up. After having a disastrous season with Williams, the Brazilian will try to play his 20th season in F1 by retaining his starting position within the Grove stable. But the British team, which has just lost its title sponsor AT&T, is lacking finances and is looking for a driver who will provide significant support. The former pilot of the Team finds himself in direct competition with Bruno Senna and Adrian Sutil, who is slowed down by his troubles with the German justice system in the case opposing him to Eric Lux.

“It’s taking a little longer than I thought.”, recognized the veteran of the discipline in The Flying Lap. “I have to stay positive, I’ve always worked like that. I'm fighting to keep my place. I think two other drivers are capable of driving for Williams, but I feel like I'm a good candidate and deserve this drive. There are a lot of changes in the team, whether in terms of engine or personnel. Where can they find someone with my experience? I thought I would be finished in my thirties but I'm 39 and I still feel capable of racing in F1. »
