And now: Something Completely Different:
Jackie Stewart addressed latest speculations that his driver, Rubens Barrichello, might move to Ferrari next year, saying such move would be a mistake for the Brazilian.
"If he was offered a job at McLaren, he should grab it, but it's not in his best interests to go to Ferrari," said the former World Champion, "There is only one driver there - Michael Schumacher - and he totally dominates the team. Rubens is vulnerable because he is a sensitive person and it is going to be very tough for him if he goes there. I understand the intoxication with Ferrari because I have been where he is - but resisted it for very good reasons."
Stewart also said he would like to see Barrichello stay at Stewart. He also said, on a different occasion, that Eddie Irvine is a better driver than Michael Schumacher - perhaps indicating that, indeed, Irvine is set to move to the Stewart\Jaguar-Ford team next year
"Eddie is technically better than Michael Schumacher but, perhaps not ultimately quite as quick," said the Scot.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
