Barrichello set for 16th Monaco Grand Prix

As officially the most experienced F1 driver ever, Rubens Barrichello heads to next weekend's Monaco Grand Prix hoping to have an edge from the fifteen previous weekends he's had at the wheel of an F1 car in the Principality.

""This will be my 16th Monaco Grand Prix so I know the circuit very well by now!" exclaimed Barrichello. "Like everyone, Monaco is one of my favourite races and I have been successful here in the past, finishing on the podium four times. I particularly enjoying qualifying at Monaco, it's one of the biggest challenges of the year to get it right and give yourself the best chance in the race."

"Experience does count around Monaco as the driver and your strategy can make the difference to the outcome of your race, it's not purely about car performance," he added. "And of course, on the day, you have to keep the car out of the barriers and bring it safely home."
