Rubens Barrichello believes that Ross Brawn is exactly what Honda Racing needed to achieve solid results in Formula 1.<\/p>\n
Brawn, a British national, worked with Barrichello at Ferrari and has now joined the Honda team as a director. The goal is simple: try to bounce back after a particularly disastrous 2007.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian who won nine Grand Prix races under Brawn’s guidance admitted that he was looking forward to his arrival.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I feel very good. I had the honor of working with Ross a few years ago and I think Honda needed someone like him. He will be a fantastic team captain, \u00bb said Barrichello during a press conference in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I like everything about him, not only his organization but also the way he works. I am therefore eager to see how things will develop this year. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Although Brawn considers his position at Honda to be worlds apart from the one he held at Ferrari, Barrichello believes that his position will be roughly the same.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I don’t think so, \u00bb stated the former Ferrari driver when asked if Brawn’s work would be different at Honda.<\/p>\n
\u00ab It’s simply the team name that has changed. It’s the best for organizing a team and getting the maximum from each of us. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab Before, Honda had great capabilities and we had the right people working with us, but we needed a leader, someone to control the entire Honda team. So I think we recruited the right person and Ross is in the right place. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab The role of team principal or technical director, Ross plays it fantastically well, \u00bb he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
