The grass not greener

Rubens Barrichello faces one of the toughest tasks for a Formula One veteran - keeping up his motivation in what is looking set to be a poor car.

The Brazilian joined Honda in 2006 after terminating his contract with Ferrari expecting to start a new and successful chapter in his career.

But he took time to adapt and was overshadowed by the Englishman.

But genial and likeable Barrichello was pretty much on level terms in 2007 as both struggled with a poor car.
