Top 10 Rubens Barrichello drives
Rubens Barrichello celebrates his 300th grand prix at Spa this weekend. Here are 10 of the veteran Brazilian's best drives from his 18 seasons in Formula 1
10. Great Britain 2008: I'm still here
The 2008 Honda was marginally better than the Brackley team's 2007 effort, but it was still dreadful. Barrichello hadn't had a sniff of a podium since the farcical 2005 United States Grand Prix, and had scored just five points since the start of the previous season. Memories are short in F1, and despite everyone knowing just how terrible the machinery at his disposal was, many had forgotten what Barrichello was capable of.
With rain intensifying, he bolted on full-blown wet rubber and found himself in second place behind runaway leader Lewis Hamilton. He came home third after a fuel rig problem at his final pit-stop allowed Nick Heidfeld to slip past, but the Brazilian had made his point. He was still very much in F1.
