It's nice that there are some Brazilian drivers among the best, Barrichello is my favorite at the moment. thanks for the info. Rubens Barrichello began his Formula1 career with the Jordan team, where he stayed for four years with some success. His move to Stewart in 1997 allowed him to re-build his confidence, which had taken a battering after two and a half years of partnering Eddie Irvine at Jordan, and produced his second most successful season to date - 1999, when he managed to garner 21 championship points and win the drive at Ferrari. here is the other Brazilian driver: Tarso Marques made his Formula1 debut with the Minardi team in 1996, and competed in twelve races for the Faenza based outfit during the course of the 1996 and 1997 seasons. Prior to this he spent time karting in Brazil and then in the traditional Formula1 training grounds of Formula 3 and Formula 3000, taking the Brazilian and South American Formula 3 championships along the way. Without the prospect of another Formula1 drive, the young Brazilian crossed the Atlantic to continue learning his trade in the CART series. He competed in six races for Team Penske in 1999 before racing for the majority of the season in a Swift in 2000. His return to Formula1 will allow the 25-year-old to continue progressing through the motorsport ranks, and his experience at Minardi already is expected to help his rookie partner, Fernando Alonso. Would you like a little peppahhh?.. peppaaahhh!!

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01	http://www.atlasf1.com/news/report.php/id/3768/.html Michael Schumacher Wins the Australian Grand Prix Sunday March 4th, 2001 Michael Schumacher started the 2001 season where he left off last year as he dominated the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday to take the first win of the new campaign. Unfortunately, the race was again overshadowed by the death of a track marshal. Ferrari driver Schumacher led from pole position to the chequered flag to take a maximum 10 points in the first race of the season. The win was his fifth consecutive victory from pole, after four successive wins at the tail-end of last season. It was also Schumacher's 45th career win. At the start of the 58-lap race, Schumacher maintained first place and by the end of the first lap was 1.2 seconds clear of second-placed Mika Hakkinen. Schumacher's Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello had suffered a bad start and dropped from second to fifth place before the first turn. Barrichello battled back to pass Ralf Schumacher in fourth and then clashed with Heinz-Harald Frentzen's Jordan while pushing for third. Barrichello clipped the back of the Jordan and sent Frentzen into a spin on lap 2 to take third place. The first significant action of the race came on lap 5 as British American Racing's Jacques Villeneuve crashed into the back of the BMW-Williams of Ralf Schumacher. Villeneuve and his car were launched through the air at high speed and spun 180 degrees before hitting a wall at turn three. Schumacher and his car stopped on the adjacent grass but the race was run under the safety car as a result of the accident. Both Villeneuve and Schumacher were unhurt, but the safety car stayed out for 10 laps as paramedics attended to an injured person, believed to be marshal hit by debris, at the scene of the accident. Earlier in the race, Gaston Mazzacane had retired on the first lap in his Prost after Juan Pablo Montoya in a BMW-Williams and Jaguar's Eddie Irvine had suffered offs at turn one and two respectively but recovered. Arrows new driver Enrique Bernoldi went out on the second lap as he hit a wall close to the Villeneuve crash, while Minardi driver Tarso Marques, who had been given special dispensation to race after failing to qualify inside the required time, retired on lap 3. Jenson Button had made two places at the start from 16th place but on lap 18 his race was ruined as he was given a 10-second stop-go penalty because his mechanics were still on the grid at the start of the formation lap. Schumacher, meanwhile, maintained his lead at the front as he set five consecutive fastest laps from lap 17 to 21. His lead was extended further by lap 26 as his closest rival Hakkinen crashed his McLaren out of the race. Finn Hakkinen went into a tyre wall backwards at high speed as he suffered a suspected suspension or brake failure at turn 13. Hakkinen had marks on his helmet and McLaren technical director Adrian Newey confirmed Hakkinen had slight concussion. Jordan's Jarno Trulli lost places with a mechanical problem on lap 33 and he dropped back from fourth place before retiring on lap 40. On lap 34, McLaren's David Coulthard took second place from Barrichello with a good overtaking manoeuvre. Barrichello had been held up by the Minardi of Fernando Alonso which allowed Coulthard to catch up and overtake the Brazilian driver at turn three. Schumacher came in for his only pit-stop on lap 37 and took 10.7 seconds to change tyres and re-fuel as most other teams also brought their drivers in at this time. Coulthard came in for his stop on lap 41 and took 10.3 seconds, but Schumacher regained the lead while he was in the pits. Coulthard, however, rejoined the race in second place ahead of Barrichello. Prior to Coulthard's pit-stop, Montoya's race ended on lap 40 as his BMW engine blew and left him stranded on the track. The man he replaced at Williams, Jenson Button, was the last driver to retire as he stopped four laps from the finish in his Benetton. Schumacher kept a safe distance of around seven or eight seconds to Coulthard in the closing laps as he secured the first win of the season in Australia. Barrichello was third, Olivier Panis fourth in his BAR, Nick Heidfeld fifth for Sauber and Frentzen sixth to make up the points finishers.

Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01	http://www.atlasf1.com/news/report.php/id/3769/.html Track Marshal at Albert Park Killed During the Race Sunday March 4th, 2001 An Australian Grand Prix marshal was killed after being struck by flying debris during the first race of the Formula One season on Sunday. No immediate details were available but Ferrari's race winner Michael Schumacher told a subdued post race news conference in Melbourne that he had been told the marshal had died. "Unfortunately we have just been told that the marshal did die," said the German world champion. "Obviously we are all shocked about this. Certainly everyone is very much down for the situation." Briton David Coulthard, who was runner-up in the race in a McLaren, offered condolences to the marshal's family and said his race was insignificant in the context of a life lost. "We need obviously to study how we can improve track safety for these people who give their time for us to enable us to go racing," said the Scot. It was the second time in less than a year that a marshal had been killed at a Formula One race. Italian Paolo Gislimberti died at Monza last year when he was hit by flying debris in the first fatality suffered by Formula One at a circuit since the death of Brazilian world champion Ayrton Senna at Imola in 1994. The Melbourne marshal was apparently hit after the BAR of former champion Jacques Villeneuve collided with the Williams of Ralf Schumacher, Michael's younger brother. The BAR flew at speed into safety fences, scattering debris across the track and losing its wheels. BAR team principal Craig Pollock said there was a deep sense of shock in the paddock. "I would just like to send my sincere condolences to the family," he said, "There was not much we can say because we don't know the full circumstances about the accident."
