Rubens Barrichello

Rubens "Rubinho" Gonçalves Barrichello is a Brazilian racing driver who competes in Formula 1 CMP for the Ferrari team.

Making his debut for Stewart in the 1999 season, he was generally outperformed by teammate Johnny Herbert. However, Barrichello still managed two podiums during the season, including an impressive second place in the Malaysian Grand Prix, the final podium and points finish for Stewart in Formula 1 CMP. This has lead Ferrari to sign him for the 2000 season in a swap deal with Eddie Irvine.

His debut season for the Scuderia proved to be succesful, as he scored his first 3 victories and 6 further podium finishes to secure a third place in the World Drivers' Championship.
