Barrichello spills the beans

[Genghis]

Seems that he was threatened with the sack if he didn't let Schumacher past in Austria:

It's rubbish. He's coming to the end of his career and has said he might write a book about his time at Ferrari. This is just a promotional gimmick because it would be boring otherwise.

Chapter one - didn't win.
Chapter two - didn't win.
Chapter three - great race to come from the back in torrential rain.
Chapter four - didn't win.
Chapter five - unemployed.

Schumi - oooh get you.

But you have to admit it was a real shame Barrichello was never allowed to compete with Schumacher - it may have made some of the heavily Ferrari-dominated seasons (e.g. 2002 and 2004) a little more interesting.

Barrichello almost looked on a par with Schumacher in 2002, but wasn't allowed to race him and indeed had to stop for a cup of tea and scones to let the much slower Schumacher win in Austira.

He's just bitter because he spent so long being Schumacher's be-otch.

In which case, surely the book should be:

Chapter One - very lucky to survive crash at Imola.
Chapter Two - didn't win.
Chapter Three - didn't win.
Chapter Four - great race to come from the back in torrential rain.
Chapter Five - didn't win in Austria, but only because had to pull onto grass and eat egg & cress sandwiches to allow that slow coach Michael to catch up.
Chapter Six - met some speedway rider, not sure who he was.
Chapter Seven - didn't win.
Chapter Eight - unemployed.
