Well I don't think Rubens is exactly hyper mega fast, but it will be good to see him race with another team mate. Maybe we will finally see how fast he is.

Button certainly seems to have annoyed a lot of people of late. It is a shame cos he is a good driver, and England could do with a few heroes at the moment.

Nothing wrong with JENSON or RUBENS, a great pairing if they come together, but I see WILLIAMS for the former.

SGD, you have to laugh alone about RUBENS....

CHEERS!

As I see it, the only way he is not going to be in a Williams is to pay Sir Frank a s...t load of money.

in this forum... i think so too... and i don't care!

the MS-lovers always said that RB is the most underrated driver and

how good is MShumierda who outdoes him year after year... let see, who was MS beating...

i think RB is quite over-rated, in fact. but let the facts show us... 2006 will show...

Indeed, BAR Honda have confirmed a multi-year deal with Rubens Barrichello from 2006 onwards.

Rubens Barrichello said:

"I am very excited to confirm that I will be joining B*A*R Honda in 2006. I wish to thank everyone at Ferrari for six fantastic years. I have won many races with them and I am proud to have helped the team, to date, to win five Constructors' World Championships. However my target remains winning the Drivers' title and to achieve that I felt that I needed a renewed motivation. I have been watching B*A*R Honda's progress for some time and have been struck by the spirit and determination of a team that has all the right ingredients to win races and go on to win World Championships. I can't think of anything more exciting than working with the team and Honda to achieve our shared ambitions together. Obviously I have a job to do at Ferrari until the end of the season, but I am very happy about the fantastic times that I know still lie ahead."

Nick Fry said:

"Signing Rubens represents another exciting milestone in B*A*R Honda's development and in Rubens' own career. This is a strong and successful team that is determined to achieve its World Championship ambitions and we are confident that these will be realised soon. Rubens is not only an excellent driver, but he has the experience of building a race and Championship winning team and these skills are very important as we work to take B*A*R Honda to the next level. The fact that we have developed so quickly to become an attractive proposition to drivers of Rubens' standing is a fantastic credit to the team. We are delighted that Rubens recognises our enormous potential and wishes to help us realise our dream in the not too distant future. I would also like to thank Ferrari for all of their cooperation in allowing Rubens to join us next year."
