  • LEGENDS: Rubens Barrichello on following Senna and racing Schumacher

    LEGENDS: Rubens Barrichello on following Senna and racing Schumacher
    Nov 13 2024
    He’s one of the most experienced drivers in F1 history, who won races for championship teams Ferrari and Brawn GP.

    During his long career, Rubens Barrichello had to cope with the loss of his legendary countryman, Ayrton Senna, and the challenge of carrying the hopes of Brazilian fans afterwards. At Ferrari, Rubens went up against a dominant Michael Schumacher, and while he never won a title, he proved he could match his teammate on his day.

    Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Rubens reflects on some of the highs and lows of his career, the long shadow cast by the death of Senna, and the pressure and pride he felt racing for Brazil’s passionate F1 fans.

  • Christian Fittipaldi: racing in an F1 dynasty

    Christian Fittipaldi: racing in an F1 dynasty
    Nov 6 2024
    Nephew of two-time Formula 1 World Champion Emerson and son of Brazilian F1 team owner Wilson, Christian Fittipaldi was destined to follow in his family’s footsteps and race in the pinnacle of motorsport.
    Speaking to Tom Clarkson in his home city of Sao Paulo, Christian reflects on his three seasons on the grid with the Footwork and Minardi teams in the early 1990’s. He talks about what it was like growing up in such an iconic racing family and the pressure he experienced carrying the Fittipaldi name, how he recovered from two serious crashes at Magny Cours and Monza, and why he walked away from F1 at the end of 1994 despite opportunities to stay.
    Plus, Christian describes how Ayrton Senna’s death at Imola in ‘94 affected him personally and whether he felt a weight of expectation to be the next Senna.

Love it.

I love to hear authentic interviews on the drivers. Beyond the grid is a great addition to audible. Love Charles quote: “Find something within you. Whether it’s in the bad days or good days.”

Why would they?

Why would a US born driver go to f1? There is a wide competitive gap amoung the f1teams. We have our own multiple racing series here that are more competitive than f1 on its most exciting day. Much chraper to go too btw. Send more drivers! We'd be happy to have them. No matter what team they're on in Indy they have a chance to win on any day. F1 is an engineering series. What f1 has are the best and brightest engineers the world. Dont confuse the drivers with the engineers
