Rubens Barrichello, who spent years as Ferrari’s second violin played, says that Schumacher is not seven, but six-time champion had to be. For those that another title should have been? Three guesses…

Less than 322 times was the Brazilian Rubens Barrichello will start in a Formula 1 race, an absolute record. Yet we still managed Rubinho never to be champion, all he went eleven times as first over the finish line. In 2000, he’s allowed Eddie Irvine to redeem if two driver at Ferrari. Team boss Jean Todd, now president of the FIA, run in those days, a clear politics: the second rider helps the first rider. At Ferrari at the time, so no teammaatjes who each other down, but teamorders with the outrageous display during the GP of Austria in 2002 as hoogtedieptepunt. In the last round went Barrichello, proud to be in the lead at that moment, full on the brakes to Michael Schumacher past. Not that this somewhere was needed, the Red Brigade in 2002 was the supreme and Schumacher was at every race that year on the stage.

Austria in 2002 the absolute unsportsmanlike is low in the area of teamorders, there we agree. But that’s not all, says Barrichello. He claims that Schumacher in his time at Ferrari, not five times, but four times world champion would have had to be, according to the Brazilian Gazetta Esportiva. The remaining title was in the name of Rubinho. Or, he also refers to the 2002 season, is not clear.

It is Rubens still straight, that teamorders, that much is clear. On the other hand he has opted for a five-year bearer of Schumacher, which he’s undoubtedly more than for paid (not as much as Schumacher by the way, but that aside). Afterwards going to claim that you have at least one season was better than Michael Schumacher, who more than a year ago very seriously injured in a ski accident, is not exactly chic.
