Rubens "Rubinho" Gonçalves Barrichello (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʁubẽjz ʁuˈbĩɲu ɡõˈsawviz baʁiˈkɛlu]; born 23 May 1972) is a Brazilian professional racing driver who competed in Formula One between 1993 and 2011. He scored 11 Grand Prix wins and 68 podiums.[1] As of 2023, he competes full-time in the Brazilian Stock Car Pro Series, driving the No. 111 Toyota Corolla E210 for Full Time Sports.
Following stints with the Jordan and Stewart teams, Barrichello drove for Ferrari from 2000 to 2005 as Michael Schumacher's teammate, finishing as championship runner-up in 2002 and 2004, and third in 2001, while contributing to five constructors' titles for the team. At the end of 2005 Barrichello left Ferrari to drive for Honda. In 2009, he finished third in the Drivers' Championship for Brawn GP, as his teammate Jenson Button won the driver's championship, and the team won the constructors' title. He was also appointed chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association in 2010.[2]
After two years with the Williams F1 team, Barrichello moved to the IndyCar Series in 2012 with KV Racing Technology.[3][4] After only one year and being unable to find a ride for the 2013 season, he moved back to Brazil to participate in the Stock Car Series, winning the championship in 2014 and 2022.[5][6]
From 2013 until 2014 he covered F1 race weekends for Brazil's TV Globo, interviewing drivers and team members on the grid and commentating during qualifying and race coverage.[7][8][9] He later left to co-host and star in the YouTube channel Acelerados.[10]
In April 2024, Rubens Barrichello joined SOFTSWISS, an international iGaming software company, as the Non-Executive Director in Latin America to leverage his sports experience and support the company's growth in the region.[11]
