Barrichello’s time in Formula One saw him race for the Jordan and Stewart teams before his most memorable period at Ferrari. From 2000 to 2005, he was teammate to one of the sport’s greatest drivers, Michael Schumacher. His time with Ferrari saw him finish as runner-up in the 2002 and 2004 Drivers’ Championship while also securing third position in 2001. His efforts were instrumental in Ferrari clinching five Constructors’ titles during this period.

In a career shift, Barrichello left Ferrari at the end of 2005 to join Honda, which eventually left F1 in 2008, due to the global financial crash. Barrichello now found himself without a seat until Ross Brawn rescued the team and created the one-season wonder, Brawn GP for the 2009 season. Barrichello would finish third in the 2009 Drivers’ Championship that year, and his teammate Jenson Button secured the World Title. Together, they led the team to the 2009 Constructors’ Championship.

Barrichello’s career then took him to the Williams F1 team for two years in 2010 and 2011, where he was also appointed chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association in 2010.

His career in F1 ended at the last race of the 2011 season where he moved to the IndyCar Series in 2012 with KV Racing Technology. However, after a single season and facing challenges in securing a drive for 2013, Barrichello returned to Brazil. There, he made a triumphant entry into the Stock Car Series, clinching the championship titles in 2014 and again in 2022.

In addition to his racing career, Barrichello also ventured into broadcasting. From 2013 to 2014, he was a familiar face on Brazil’s TV Globo, covering F1 race weekends. His role involved interviewing drivers and team members and providing insightful commentary during qualifying and race broadcasts.
