Barrichello’s 300 races in 50 pictures
Rubens Barrichello won’t care to remember his 300th F1 race, which lasted less than a lap.
Fortunately he has many better memories from his 18-year F1 career which has made him the first driver to reach a triple-century of races.
Take a look at some of the memorable moments from his career in the pictures below.
Barrichello has actually participated in 301 F1 race weekends. But he failed to qualify for the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix for Jordan after being injured in a crash during qualifying.

Would have been nice to have a picture when he through his gloves into the sea at Singapore (2008 I think) – remember that one? That was a classic Rubens comedy moment that made me smile.

Nice to see so many photos. Congratulations!
I started watching Formula 1 in 1991, but its from 1993 on that I have more consistent memories. So I almost can’t remember Grand Prix Racing without Rubens, except for three or four images from two years before (Senna winning Brazil 91, Senna riding in Mansell’s car after a failure, Senna letting Berger pass in Japan 91, Senna winning Monnnaaco 92…)

I think he often open his mouth too quickly when he should think things through more. But the guy is anyway solid gold: a really cool guy and I admire him a lot. As someone pointed out: the nicest person with a race seat! I have 50% to thank him for turning me back into a F1 Fanatic, since it was the wonderful work that took place at Brawn GP which got me hooked again. And although I´m happy with Jenson´s title, I was cheering for Rubens…

Noticed a small error. On the 6th picture, shouldn’t it say that he crashed in practice?
