F1 » Barrichello hints at Ferrari 'truth' one day

Well if it really was all that horrible he could have left sooner. Instead he extended his contract even after the Austria incident. I think the truth is he was pretty comfortable at Ferrari.

Ooo, I''m excited to hear what this is!

if it''s printed in english I''ll definitely be buying a copy, but I suppose it will all depend on how brave he is to put it to paper. I don''t think I''ve read a bio yet that is "warts and all" most of them have just been half-hearted attempts

Could provide for some good reading...Although I think Barichello knew what he was getting into when he joined Ferrari and he made the decision to stay with them for 6 years, so it''s his fault for staying there for as long as he did.

Still, I would like to know some things about the roles that Jean Todt and Ross Brawn really played at Ferrari.

Stange how when we look back it's rubens fault for staying put next to a multiple champ but when we look at Mclaren it's Ron Dennis who is the villan for having a #1 driver in Hakkinen. DC always spilled the beans about it so why is rubens not allowed to? oh sorry he's in a red car, silly me!

@racingbod

Nah...Hakkinen was just faster than DC in that car. And if DC really wanted to fight for the championship he shouldn't hand over wins to his teammate. I'm not saying he should have broken that "pact" of whoever wins the first corner wins, I'm saying he shouldn't make those kinds of arrangements in the first place. DC just wasn't good enough to win the championship. Barichello might have had a better shot.
Also, at Ferrari thet've never made a secret about MS's nr1 status, but RD OTOH keeps on insisting there is no first driver. That's why he gets some blame, for not being truthful more then anything else.
Btw, I only once more became a Ferrari (and BMW) fan when MS left.

I wouldn't be surprised if they made him sign an NDA before he left. I'd love to hear what he has to say, though. But him teasing us like this is just cruel.

He won't reveal the truth until he retires and not while he doesn't have a drive because if he's not retained at Honda he might get a drive at Torro Rosso who of course are powered by Ferrari and he wouldn't want to upset anyone now would he.

I can't see that "revealing the truth" will help RB get a seat in F1 next season. He knew exactly what he was getting into at Ferrari and i imagine that he was extremely well paid for playing second fiddle for M Schu. In contrast, L Hamilton showed how it should be done by driving the wheels off the Mclaren, much to the disgust of 2 time world champ Mr Alonso.....now that was a breath of fresh air in F1.

Poor Barrichello "the most experienced driver in F1"!!!! Now he is preparing for a future where writing nonsense, particularly with few jabs against Ferrari may allow him to buy the champagnes he missed in F1. There are some truths which some drivers they cannot accept. There are those who succeed because they are good and all others claiming "I will have been able to get there should I have had.......". Latest one from Button.... Just accept it there are one of each of Hamiltons, Raikonens, Alonsos, Schumis and those who came before them.... So I suggest retire gracefully...
