Barrichello sees chance of points
20 August 2008Honda driver Rubens Barrichello says he sees a chance of scoring points this weekend in the European Grand Prix. The Brazilian veteran is counting on his experience to be an advantage as everyone gets to grips with the completely new circuit.
"The challenge of learning a new circuit is always exciting, particularly when it is an unusual venue such as the new street circuit in Valencia," Barrichello said. " Despite preparing as much as we can in advance of the race, our track walk with the engineers on Thursday and the practice sessions on Friday will be absolutely key to learning the track and assessing the grip levels."
"A new track always opens up the field and gives an opportunity for the driver to make an impact as our feedback will be very important in achieving the correct set-up," he added. "We have prepared well and I am looking forward to the weekend and the potential to score some points. We can expect the race weekend to be very hot which will add to the physical challenge for the drivers, car and team. I'm a big fan of Valencia as a city; it's a beautiful location, and hopefully the race will bring a lot of new fans to Formula One."
