Barrichello: I feel comfortable at Ferrari
New Ferrari signing Rubens Barrichello says he feels comfortable at the Italian team, after testing extensively over recent weeks.
'I think the car no longer has any secrets from me,' he revealed at a press conference on Friday.
'I am comfortable in it and I can get the best out of it on the wet and in the dry.
'It has a good turn of speed, brakes well and has exceptional driveability.
'I have been able to go well in it and on top of that, I am getting on great with the team.
'Everyone at Ferrari has given me a warm reception. Maybe they like having a driver who speaks Italian. When I am in the car, I use English, but once I am out of the cockpit, we smile, joke and mess around together.
'It is like being part of a family and I feel as though I have done two years testing with Ferrari, because it is all going so well in such a short space of time.'
