Former Ferrari driver triumphs at 50 in Brazilian Stock Car championship.

More satisfaction for Rubens Barrichello, at the age of 50. The former Ferrari driver, who said goodbye to Formula 1 in 2011, won the Brazilian Stock Car championship for the second time, having already won it in 2014.

Rubinho managed to repeat the success at Interlagos, at the wheel of a Toyota of the Full Time Sports team: after the triumph he burst into tears, just like in the old days in Formula 1. “This is the happiest day of my life I feel enormous gratitude. I thank Interlagos, the love of my life. Interlagos has given me something I have been waiting for a long time. It couldn’t not be like this, with the people I love and who are by my side,” he said after the race.
