Barrichello hopes experience will pay

Honda driver Rubens Barrichello will reach 257 Grand Prix appearances next weekend at the Turkish Grand Prix, and is hoping that his vast F1 experience will pay dividends and help him into the points.

"Becoming the most experienced Formula One driver ever means a great deal to me," said Barrichello. "I've had a long career in Formula One and I have so many wonderful memories, but I don't feel any different today to the day when I started out on this journey in 1993. My first race, at Kyalami, seems like yesterday."

"I must thank my family and friends for their unwavering support through the years," he added. "I was lucky enough to start my career in F1 at a young age and I love racing as much as ever and, importantly, I still love Formula One. Whilst people will look back at my 16-year career in Turkey, I'm still looking forward and the next race is the one that matters the most."
