Barrichello Meets With Ferrari.
Rubens Barrichello was spotted in discussion with Ferrari top brass at the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend, reinforcing the belief that he will shortly sign for the Italian team.
Barrichello met with Ferrari team boss Jean Todt and Fiat president Gianni Agnelli before Sundays' race, apparently to discuss the terms of a contract for 2000. The Brazilian is hotly tipped to replace Eddie Irvine at Maranello, when the Irishman stands down as Michael Schumacher's number two. Irvine is widely expected to sign for the renamed Stewart-Jaguar team.

Barrichello's meeting with Ferrari is considered a clear sign that he will join the Scuderia, as Signor Agnelli rarely travels to races due to his advancing years.
