Rubens extends Ferrari contract
14 April 2012
Rubens Barrichello has signed a two-year extension to his contract with Ferrari, ensuring his partnership with Michael Schumacher will continue until the end of 2006.
There had been speculation that Ferrari were going to drop the 31-year-old Brazilian in favour of Fernando Alonso or Giancarlo Fisichella.
Barrichello, fourth in last year's drivers' championship, said: "I'm very proud. The new deal is not just about security. I have done this at the right moment in my career. It is another step forward."
