The battle between the two men will be fascinating this season." </p> <p/> <div class="ch1"> <b>BARRICHELLO TAKES OUR DRIVERS' TEST</b> </div> <p> <b>What three words would you use to describe what it's like to be a Formula One driver? </b> <br/> Exciting, determination and passion. </p> <p> <b>What is the biggest perk of the job?</b> <br/> Driving a Formula One car. Fast! </p> <p> <b>How would you like to be remembered as an F1 driver? </b> <br/> A persistent man who won in the end. </p> <p> <b>What is your most embarrassing sporting moment? </b> <br/> When I was driving in Formula Three, my car had a front bar that could be changed. </p> <p>I asked for it to be changed, did five laps and told the team the car was much better. They came on the radio and said the bar was actually disconnected. I was only 18 but very embarrassed. </p> <p> <b>Who is the worst dressed Formula One driver? </b> <br/> Michael Schumacher. Easily. Ha ha! </p> <p> <b>Ayrton Senna or Alain Prost </b> <br/> Senna, because he had a tremendous passion for what he did and because he was a fellow countryman. </p> <p> <b>Spa or Monaco? </b> <br/> I like Spa better because it is a challenging track, not only on the physical side but also technically in terms of getting the set-up right. </p> <p>Monaco is fun but only in qualifying. The race can be a little boring from a driver's point of view. </p> <p/>  <table cellspacing="0" align="right" width="231" border="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="5"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737im_/http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif" width="5" height="1" alt="" border="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"></td> <td class="sibtbgf"> <div class="sihf"> BARRICHELLO STATS & FACTS </div> <div class="o"> </div> <div class="mva"><div class="bull"> <b>Team:</b>  <div class="arry"> <a class="pbl" href="/web/20090401212737/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879039.stm"> Brawn GP </a> </div>  </div> <div class="bull"> <b>Team-mate:</b>  <div class="arry"> <a class="pbl" href="/web/20090401212737/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879011.stm"> Jenson Button </a> </div>  </div> <div class="bull"> <b>Previous teams:</b> Jordan, Stewart, Ferrari, Honda</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Car number:</b> 23</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Nationality:</b> Brazilian</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Born:</b> 23/05/1972, Sao Paulo</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Grand Prix debut: </b> South Africa 1993</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Grands Prix entered: </b> 271</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Wins: </b> 9</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Pole positions: </b> 13</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Podiums: </b> 62</div> <div class="bull"> <b>Points: </b> 530</div> </div> </td> </tr> </table>  <p> <b>If you weren't an F1 driver what would you be? </b> <br/> </p> <p> I have no idea.

He brought a huge amount of fans to F1 but also better safety, unfortunately as a result of his death. Safety really improved after his accident. </p> <p> <b>What would be your perfect day off? </b> <br/> Being at home with my kids playing whatever they want to play. To be honest, I hate playing Power Rangers, but sometimes I do it. </p> <p> <b>Where is your favourite place to go on holiday? </b> <br/> Nowadays I really like taking the kids to the Disney parks because they have so much fun. </p> <p>But if I don't have time then being at home in Sao Paulo is just as good as any holiday. </p> <p> <b>Apart from a house what is the most expensive thing that you own? </b> <br/> My plane - an Embraer Legacy. I have to travel a lot and it means I can get from race to test to event as quickly as possible and then get back to my family. </p> <p> <b>What is your favourite item of clothing?</b> <br/> A white T-shirt and jeans. </p> <p> <b>What is your favourite music to drive to? </b> <br/> Brazilian country music, like Victor and Leo. </p> <p> <b>Which famous person - dead or alive - would you like to have dinner with and why? </b> <br/> Barack Obama. He seems very down to earth and also a clever guy. </p> <p> <b>Tell us something about yourself that most F1 fans might not know </b> <br/> I am actually much more extrovert than I seem on TV. Plus, I can be very naughty! </p> <p> <b>Steve McQueen or Paul Newman? </b> <br/> Paul Newman, because he was a great motor racing enthusiast. </p> <p> <b>Boxers or briefs? </b> <br/> Briefs. They keep everything together. When I'm racing? Nothing but my fireproof underwear. </p> <p> <b>Angelina Jolie or Keira Knightley? </b> <br/> Can I have Hilary Swank instead? </p> <p> <b>James Bond or Austin Powers?</b> <br/> James Bond. I love those movies. </p>  <br/><br clear="all"/> <div id="socialBookMarks" class="sharesb"> <h3>Bookmark with:</h3> <ul> <li class="delicious"> <a id="delicious" title="Post this story to Delicious" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://del.icio.us/post?url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm&title=Rubens Barrichello">Delicious</a> </li> <li class="digg"> <a id="digg" title="Post this story to Digg" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://digg.com/submit?url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm&title=Rubens Barrichello">Digg</a> </li> <li class="reddit"> <a id="reddit" title="Post this story to reddit" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm&title=Rubens Barrichello">reddit</a> </li> <li class="facebook"> <a id="facebook" title="Post this story to Facebook" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm">Facebook</a> </li> <li class="stumbleupon"> <a id="stumbleupon" title="Post this story to StumbleUpon" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm&title=Rubens Barrichello">StumbleUpon</a> </li> </ul> <p class="what"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/6915817.stm">What are these?</a></p> </div> <script language="JavaScript">  </script> <div class="mvtb"><table cellspacing="0" width="416" border="0" cellpadding="0"><tr> <td width="213"><a onclick="popUpPage('https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/email/news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm','status=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=370,height=445','Mailer')" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/email/news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm" target="Mailer"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737im_/http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/sol/shared/img/v3/email.gif" align="left" width="17" height="11" alt="" border="0" vspace="0" hspace="3"> E-mail this to a friend </a></td> <td width="203"><a onclick="popUpPage('https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm?ad=1','status=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=yes,width=600,height=445','Printer')" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737/http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7879012.stm?ad=1" target="Printer"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737im_/http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/sol/shared/img/v3/print.gif" align="left" width="17" height="11" alt="" border="0" vspace="0" hspace="3"> Printable version </a></td> </tr></table></div> </td> <td class="storyextra"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20090401212737im_/http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif" width="1" height="10" alt=""><br/> <div class="puffbox">  <p>    <div class="short_table" id="standings"> <h3>Drivers' world championship</h3><span class="last_updated">Last updated: 29 Mar 2009 13:06 UK</span><table class="standings" summary="This table is for the Drivers World Championship 2009 short version.
