Rubens Barrichello, a very popular figure on the Formula I circuit,is now driving for Ferrari who are,of course,a very competitive team. The Brazilian is burdened by having to shoulder Brazilian expectations of glory following the sad demise of the great Ayrton Senna. That a hard burden to shoulder for anyone.Essentially Rubens,who has driven for Jordan and Jaguar among others,is a mature,experienced, and competent driver. He is cool under pressure and probably has the temperament to be second fiddle to Michael Schumacher. It is no easy task being in the same team as that flawed genius.However, I suspect that at the end of the day the killer instinct is lacking and I feel that Rubens will be near to the top but will not quite make it all the way. Perhaps he is not really ruthless enough. Time will tell!

Advantages: Pretty good in wet.
Disadvantages: Not a front-runner in raw speed terms. Doe-like naivety made him easy prey for Ferrari.
