Rubens seriously ****ed off!!!
Thought this was pretty funny:
BARRICHELLO BLASTS IRVINE 2002-04-14 16:35:00 www.itv-f1.com Rubens Barrichello slammed Ferrari predecessor Eddie Irvine after the San Marino Grand Prix. The Ferrari man was less than impressed when Irvine let Ralf Schumacher lap him before blocking Barrichello’s attempts to get past. The Brazilian left Irvine in no doubt of his feelings, giving him the finger as he eventually muscled past. Barrichello said: "I just made a sign that told him to go to hell! Considering that he is the one that talks so much in the briefings and everything - bla, bla, bla - it's odd that he goes and holds me up for three-quarters of a lap. "When he let Ralf by, in a nice way, he could have let me by at the same place but he came back in and stayed there for another five or six corners. It was just silly, that's all. But he's getting old..."  hahaha I'd like to see where this leads...I'm sure Irvine will have a thing or two to say (as usual). But I'm glad to see Rubens getting some of that frustration out...must be hard keeping it all bottled up (being Schumi's whipping boy and all) I especially like the "he's getting old part"!

Quite rightly so too from Rubens' point of view. Of course Eddie should have let Rubens by earlier, on the other hand, Rubens could have been a little more determined into the corner after Ralf had passed Irvine, because there certainly was room for him to pass there, but he backed off. TGF would have gone for it.
After that, Irv was deliberately holding Rubens up for several corners. I suppose the experience from his Ferrari days are still in his mind, meaning that he will only wag for a Schumacher...

I must admit, I thought "he's holding up a red car", where's the drive through penalty?
Must have been the wrong red car!! |

I thought Rubens said all that was needed to be said (gestured) while passing him....

FIA ought to let drivers to have audio intercom between them during races, and let us hear it. It would be funny to listen Barrichello words to Eddie, or Monty against Schuey or viceversa. An universe of possibilities

Eddie was wrong to hold up Rubens , considering that Eddie is the 2nd best driver in the world you would have thought he would have known better !

The best bit was Eddie's response which I thought was a bit horrible, but funny anyway:
"I may be older than Rubens but I will never be as ugly"! Handbags at 20 paces in Barcelona perhaps? |

On my observation, Eddie got back on line for the Tamburello chicane immediately after Ralf blew by, then had just enough oomph to precede Rubens to Villeneuve, and then went wide at Tosa to let Rubens by. Rubens then easily zipped back up to Ralf. How this constitutes his being held up for three-quarters of a lap, deliberately, I cannot imagine. But then, Rubens has a lot on his mind -- and many reasons to be paranoid, given that he's subject to his team-mate's every whim -- so almost anything that happens to him probably fits into this diabolical scheme, in his mind.
Sigh. Last edited by Bibendum; 14 Apr 2002 at 21:10. |

Rubens has been guilty of holding people up as well. To be fair to Eddie, he was obviously frustrated and I cant blame him. Having to battle with the Minardis is not something that any grand prix winner would enjoy.

IMO it's a case of pent-up frustration just boiling over for Rubens, and the (unfortunate?) Irvine received it.
Once RB takes a look at the replay, he'll notice it wasn't as bad as first thought. |

I think Reubens should be a little more pi55ed about TGF taking HIS race car because it was faster in qualifying. Irvine is a moron in an F1 Yugo anyway. I wonder how much more of himself he is going to have to give to TGF and Scuderia Ferrari. What's next Reubens? Gonna give Mikey a go with your lady? Be a man and stand up for yourself. If you are half as pi55ed as I am, you should be just about ready to kill...............COME ON REUBENS

I think that both Ralf and Rubens had the same rights to pass Eddie, and that Eddie held Rubens up quite a lot, judging by hte distance Ralf was able to gain. One more corner and I think Eddie would have been penalised. However, how do you penalise a Jaguar ten places on the grid? Yoong would be the only one to gain any advantage as the Jaguar is right back near the rear anyway.

This is what Eddie had to say -
"I might be older than Rubens but I'll never be as ugly," he joked. "He's just being over emotional as usual. "I had already let Ralf by and was quite prepared to do the same for him. I always race fairly and had nothing to gain by holding him up. But he didn't take the initiative. He should learn to count because it was only two corners later I let him by." Trust Eddie to come back with a real snorter. Thats hitting below the belt Eddie...but oh well - Irv's Irv

Irvine's comments:
"I might be older than Rubens but I'll never be as ugly. He is just being over-emotional as usual. I had already let Ralf by and I looked in the mirror and saw Rubens coming and was quite prepared to do the same for him. I always race fairly and had nothing to gain in holding him up. But he didn't take the initiative. He should learn to count because it was only two corners later that I let him by."

Mania, I don't see how Irv is hitting below the belt. His account is accurate, from my tape of the passing "incident." He's teasing Reubens about age/beauty, obviously.

Re: Eddie Irvine's greatest overtaking move!
hehehheheee....did he actually say all those words? if only 'the 2nd best driver in F1' have a competitve car, then we could see a rivalry on the tracks between Rubens & the motormouth....
If only Williams have JPM & the motormouth....it could be a blast on & off track! |

That's five corners later. But not anything near three quarters of a lap. Maybe Rubens meant to say that he was held up by Irvine during 3/4 of a lap. But looking at this quote, it looks as if he implies that Irvine did that after letting Ralf pass him. ------------------------ By the way, if Irvine realy thinks it was only 2 corners, that explains why he didn't let Rubens pass him on an earlier occasion. |
