Mixed feelings for Barrichello

'From the bottom of my heart I'm really happy for Johnny because he had had such a difficult time this season,' said the Brazilian after finishing third.

'But, to be honest, I am in two hearts about it because I had wanted to give Jackie [Stewart] his first team win - especially since this is my last season with the team.

'But I don't want to take anything away from Johnny, he drove a really good race.

'He won it on a guess on the weather. He guessed right, I didn't.

'He went for wets but all I could see were clear skies, so I must have been looking at a different sky to Johnny.

'I couldn't see the rain continuing long enough.

'But at least I have helped the team and as well as the pole earlier this year I have given them their first all-podium finish.'

The result lifts them to within two points of Williams and battling for a place in Formula One's Big Four in only their third season of Grand Prix racing.

Stewart has 31 points and Williams 33 with two races remaining.
