Williams driver Rubens Barrichello has named Lewis Hamilton and Robert Kubica as his dream-team in Formula One – if he were a team principal.
The veteran of 310 races, making him the most experienced driver on the grid, was asked by the official F1 website about some of his ‘F1 fantasies’ which included his favourite champion, circuit, corners and racing era.
When the Brazilian was asked which former world champion he would choose to be his team-mate, he replied: Ayrton Senna! I would love to have him. It would be learning and fighting – because you never learn without fighting.
“I would never be happy to finish behind him, so it would be a constant push to the limit. I think he was fantastic in pushing to the limit,” said Barrichello.
On the matter of his favourite circuit, he unsurprisingly chose his home track in Brazil.
“I would pick Interlagos all the way! Stay home and race Interlagos. That would be incredible – and it is a fantastic track to boot.”
When asked to put himself into the role of team principal, then asked to choose his favourite two drivers to complete the line-up, he boasted that the duo of Hamilton and Kubica would be ‘great’.
“I am a fan of Lewis Hamilton and I would like to see Robert Kubica alongside him,” said the 38-year-old. “I think that could be a great driver line-up.”
