F1: Rubens Barrichello not impressed with rivals during Massa's kart event

By Auto123.com,
Monday, December 01, 2008
From GMM

Rubens Barrichello, who is fighting to remain in formula one won the charity 'International Challenge of Go-Kart Champs' race. However, he has been vocal about the controversial driving tactics of certain rivals.

The 2008 Honda driver won the event, organised by Felipe Massa in the southern city of Florianopolis, by beating Lucas di Grassi in race one and finishing the other race in fifth place. Barrichello and Di Grassi are competing for a seat at Honda for 2009.

"Can we quickly send this tape to Honda?" Barrichello joked to Globo TV.

He also complained about 24-year-old di Grassi's driving.

"Everybody wants to win this," Barrichello said, "but we can't go around hitting other people on the track, this is a charity event."

Barrichello's former Ferrari teammate Michael Schumacher finished fourth in the first race and retired from the second.

Barrichello, also critical of the German's style, said: "It seemed like Schumacher thought he was in a war. Maybe he forgot that he is in Brazil now."
