Rubens Barrichello has spent his first day at Maranello. He had a meeting on 9th November with Luca di Montezemolo and Jean Todt. He toured the factory as well as the racing workshops and also had a seat fitting for his new F1 car.
It will be interesting to see how the often-sensitive Barrichello will fare with the all-dominating Schumacher as his teammate in 2000. Schumacher has said that "I think I will get on better with Rubens than I did with Eddie". But Eddie Irvine has said that he feels Barrichello is in for a tough time. He said that "I could not have coped with another year because Michael Schumacher is so damn good. He is a back-breaker. He saps you, and the effort of working and competing with him drains you. I feel for my replacement because I don't believe he has any idea what he has let himself in for. I don't know if he will be crushed by Schumacher but I do know that he is in for a really hard time".
