After Dinner Speakers: Rubens Barrichello, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Divine Comedy

This gentle, laid back Brazilian faced the daunting task of taking the reigns from his idol, Ayrton Senna, after his death in 1994, as Brazil's premier race driver, and unfortunately has had a tough time living up to the immense pressure to perform. Yet now that he has joined the most prestigious racing team in the world, Scuderia Ferrari, he is finally in a situation where he can showcase his talent and compete for race wins. Previous to Ferrari, Rubens spent his first three F1 seasons at Jordan, where at a very young age showed the F1 world he was destined for success. Then Jackie Stewart hired him to spearhead his newly formed Stewart-Ford team in 1997, where he spent three seasons struggling with the growing pains of a new F1 team. Now at Ferrari Rubens has become one of the most recognizable drivers, and should teammate Michael Schumacher quit any time soon, he would be a favorite to claim the world championship.
