Rubens and Michael wont race each other!

“We ran with a lot of fuel on board, while the McLarens usually have a smaller amount in their cars on Fridays,” said Barrichello. “However, I was impressed by the performance of the Michelins. But all the same we can do well tomorrow in qualifying. As for the race, we will have to see what the situation is. As usual, I will concentrate on giving my all and will do all I can to win. But Michael will be doing the same and if I am third or fourth it will be difficult.”

Many wish to see the Ferrari drivers race wheel to wheel and dice for positions and the drivers would love that chance as well, but the teams goals are more important at this stage of the season and always are. Ferrari have no desire to lose points thanks to their drivers taking each other out and this still remains the same according to Rubens.

“Sure, a duel between me and Michael would be great, but for me it is more important to listen to the team, who underline the fact they do not want to ever see two Ferraris fighting one another aggressively. It would be an unnecessary risk,” explained Rubens. “We are a team and we don’t race against one another, only with one another to get the best possible result for the team.”

With Michael Schumacher gunning for his record breaking tenth win of the season Rubens knows his work is going to be hard if he is to win here, but would he rather win here or at Monza in the next round of the championship?
