BARRICHELLO TAKES WIN ON FERRARI RETURN
Former Formula 1 driver Rubens Barrichello says he is keen to tackle more longdistance races after teaming up with Giancarlo Fisichella to take a win in the Italian GT Championship recently.
The 50-year-old, a former Ferrari driver, was drafted into the Scuderia Baldini team at Vallelunga 10 days at the wheel of a Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo. The crew took the win in dominant style with Barrichello handling the final stint in the car.
The Brazilian has remained active in the sport since leaving the grand prix paddock and has raced in his homeland as well as in three outings in the 24 Hours of Daytona.
Barrichello said: “It was just an amazing feeling to be back driving a Ferrari and to be alongside my great friend Giancarlo Fisichella.
“I have been racing stock cars in Brazil, some endurance with Porsches but I have a big plan to race with my kids in 24-hour races in the future. So, who knows, I hope that can be in a Ferrari as well. We are talking about this.”
