Pilot “Honda” Barrichello told the official Formula 1 website that he thinks of the track at Monza, the convenience of personal motorhouma, and called the participants “poker pool” for F1.
In this weekend you were at Monza? What is your association with this track?
In Monza has the passion and emotions. I won there in 2002 and 2004, virtually the only route on which I won twice, and proud of it. I always achieve success in Monza, even today, our car is not so good, I'm looking forward to meeting with this track.
On the race track itself you arrive on Friday. When do you usually prefer to arrive on site race?
I am a family man, and I prefer to sleep on Wednesday night at home in Monaco, to be with child and family. On Thursday morning I get up early and fly to the nearest airport to the highway, and then I go to race track. All a little different to the more distant routes – you need to acclimate, to move to a different time zone, and I leave the house on Monday or Tuesday.
You learn the terrain around the track. Or follow the route, airport-hotel-airport route?
It took me seven years to see how to Barcelona, ​​so yes, the route usually do airport-hotel-airport-highway. This is not the best option, because the race is often held in very interesting places, and time to see their remains. This is the schedule of the pilot. During the Grand Prix we have is about sixteen different activities, everything is. At the time there is no tourism.
How do you practice during a race weekend? Exercises depend on the location, features tracks?
As usual I leave on Thursday morning, the last intensive training takes place on Wednesday. The only exception – Japan and China, where you can see the riders on the warm-up and five in the morning – not everyone can sleep on local time. The maximum that I do during the weekend – half-hour run, to propel blood
Where do you prefer posted during the race? Hotel in the town, the hotel is just off or near the paddock motorhoum?
Two years ago I learned that JB spends the night in his own motorhoume and looked to see him. It had everything – from a refrigerator stuffed with food to your favorite music. I liked it. It is much nicer to sleep in my bed and have a private secluded location. Therefore, at the European Grand Prix I live in motorhoume.
Something you take with you from home, then you do not have enough hotel?
Motorhoum I have only in Europe, on the other races living in the hotel. But there we just sleep, so nothing special is required. I unassuming to the conditions of the hotel, getting used to the fact that there is.
You like to be with you in the race come to friends or family?
Yes, although the race weekend is very stressful, like when a family with me. True, I was worried that I constantly go to different events, the wife can only read the books more fun it is nothing. But very nice dinner with her that evening.
You can go have some fun on a Friday or Saturday?
The closest relationship I have with Felipe Massa, after all we both Brazilians. We often have dinner together, happy to communicate. Recently, we have yet another interesting exercise: I, Kubica, Fisichella, Rosberg, Heidfeld and Alonso together playing poker. Going to motorhoume “Force India” and having fun.
With what you are talking to riders on the weekend?
My partners in poker, Felipe Massa, but I'm okay with all the talk. My oldest friend in the paddock – David Coulthard, and I will miss him when he finishes the race after this season.
Which route is the most fun nightlife?
Australia is good, quite nice in Monaco. Canada is also a great place.
And what a night after the race was the most fun? The next morning got up late?
At the Nurburgring. I won the race, and since there was nothing to do, my friend Norbert Haug, I think I can call him a friend, invited me to a party “Mercedes”, which was held at racetrack. We were there with his wife, a few drinks, then I do not understand how to play guitar, had never done it. Then I sang here in that is not my hobby! It was great! Wife had me by the hand take away from there.
How do you eat breakfast before the race?
A few toasts with orange juice, regular breakfast.
How drink for the weekend? And what drink?
Drink more than usual, makes me drink a physiotherapist. I like the water “Perrier” and “San Pellegrino”. I drink at least three liters a day.
What are you doing in the morning before the race?
Like any Brazilian, I love to sleep. The first meeting at 10.30. I sleep till 9.44, and come back for a moment before.
How to get race track on Sunday? Themselves at the wheel?
It is, I do not like when I was driven. Prefer or scooter or car.
How do you spend the last minutes before the start? Observe any signs or rituals that bring success?
Not anymore. There used to be, but you win and lose the race regardless of the will.
Do you have a mascot?
I love to bring their children for the race, of course, they bring me luck. But nothing special with me not wear it.
How do you calm down when standing on the grid, waiting for the start of the formation lap?
I always thought that my pulse is over a 180 or 190. But in the “Ferrari” it was measured, and found that only 130. Although, for someone who is sitting in the car, it's a lot of identity. On the lap I was more relaxed, more Sanchez on the grid. Over the years I became more relaxed in general, rather than early in his career.
As you relax after the finish?
We pass poslegonochny analysis and about seven o'clock in the evening I'm going to autodrome. Then I drink a glass of wine. Sometimes after a race going to Brazil or Monaco to relax. I can easily move away from the stress after 16-year career get used to everything.
If you go during the check, I prefer to leave as soon as possible and inspect the race?
I think it should stay. We need to see how a partner and find out what happened. In 99 percent of the time I'm staying until the end of the race.
