Barrichello hungry for more points

After finishing on the podium in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Honda driver Rubens Barrichello is still beaming and is hungry for even more points from this weekend's German Grand Prix.

"It was fantastic to wake up on the Monday morning after Silverstone and see the trophy!" said Barrichello. "To step onto the podium again was an unexpected but deserved outcome to our British Grand Prix weekend and I was so pleased to have achieved the result for the team. However we have to keep our focus and continue to improve the performance of the RA108 as we are fully aware that our result at Silverstone was assisted by the wet conditions. We made a small step at the test so it will be interesting to see how the car performs against our midfield competitors this
weekend."

"My first victory in Formula One came at Hockenheim back in 2000 so this circuit is very special to me," he added. "The layout changes mean that it is a different venue now from the track that I used to enjoy so much, however it's still a good circuit. Overtaking is possible, particularly under heavy braking, and with changeable weather, this can make for an exciting race."
